'A comic masterpiece' Patrick Gale, Guardian Pillar of society and
stern upholder of Victorian values, god-fearing Norfolk merchant

is their story - his brandy-swilling wife, their hapless offspring
and their changing fortunes - over the decades. Sylvia Townsend

has few rivals ... one of the most acute and intelligent writers of
her age' Claire Harman
