Paradise Postponed

When Simeon Simcox a socialist clergyman leaves his entire fortune not to his family but to the ruthless socialclimbing Tory MP Leslie Titmuss the Rectors two sons react in very different ways. Henry novelist and former angry young man turned grumpy old reactionary decides to fight the will and prove their father was insane. Younger brother Fred a mildmannered country doctor takes a different approach quietly digging in Simeons past only to uncover an entirely unexpected explanation for the legacy. An exquisitely drawn saga of ancient rivalries and class struggles featuring a glorious cast of characters Paradise Postponed is a delicious portrait of English country life by a master satirist.
