The Long Weekend Life in the English Country House Between the Wars

The Long Weekend Life in the English Country House Between the Wars by Adrian Tinniswood, published by Penguin Random House in 2018.

'A masterpiece of social history' Daily Mail There is nothing quite as beautiful as an English country house in summer. And there has never been a summer quite like that Indian summer between the two world wars, a period of gentle decline in which the sun set slowly on the British Empire and the shadows lengthened on the lawns of a thousand stately homes. Real life in the country house during the 1920s and 1930s was not always so sunny. By turns opulent and ordinary, noble and vicious, its shadows were darker.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves home and interior design.
