It’s 1945, there’s a brand-new Labour government, and Valentine Vere-Thissett, aged 23, is returning home from an undistinguished war, spent in the ranks. But following the death of his heroic older brother, and to his horror, Valentine is now Sir Valentine, seventh Baronet and extremely reluctant heir to Dimperly Manor, a gigantic liability, devoid of income, sodden with debt and half-filled with stuffed animals and dependent relatives – the latter intent on clinging to an impossibly outdated way of life.

Despite Valentine’s efforts, it takes an outsider to finally work out that Dimperly can only be saved when the inhabitants accept that the world has changed irrevocably, and that they must make at least a tiny attempt to change with it…

Brilliantly plotted and deeply touching, The Big House is a both a love story and a sharply-observed portrait of era of seismic change, which will delight all those fans who have loved Old Baggage, V for Victory and Their Finest Hour and a Half.

An irresistible novel which combines a crumbling once-grand house, bumbling aristos clinging to the pre-war past, and the magnificent Zena Baxter, one of my all-time favourite heroines. This is Lissa Evans at the peak of her mighty powers
