From the creator of the Emmy Award-winning "Downton Abbey."..
""Damian Baxter was a friend of mine at Cambridge. We met around
the time when I was doing the Season at the end of the Sixties. I
introduced him to some of the girls. They took him up, and we ran
about together in London for a while...." "
Nearly forty years later, the narrator hates Damian Baxter and
would gladly forget their disastrous last encounter. But if it is
pleasant to hear from an old friend, it is more interesting to hear
from an old enemy, and so he accepts an invitation from the rich
and dying Damian, who begs him to track down the past girlfriend
whose anonymous letter claimed he had fathered a child during that
ruinous debutante season. The search takes the narrator back to the
extraordinary world of swinging London, where aristocratic parents
schemed to find suitable matches for their daughters while someone
was putting hash in the brownies at a ball at Madame Tussaud's. It
was a time when everything seemed to be changing--and it was, but
not always quite as expected. "Past Imperfect "is Julian Fellowes
at his best--a novel of secrets, status, and a world in
upheaval.
