Jahrhundert, wo alter Hochadel, neureiche Unternehmer und korrupte Dienstboten aufeinandertreffen und die Liebe sich den Standesgrenzen widersetzt … Überaus spannend lässt Julian Fellowes in »Belgravia« eine versunkene Welt lebendig werden.

Wie angelt man sich einen Adeligen? Edith Lavery will nichts weiter als einen reichen Ehemann. Ach ja, adelig sollte er natürlich auch noch sein. Wie soll sie sonst mit ihrer gutbürgerlichen Herkunft den sozialen Status erlangen, den sie eigentlich verdient? Ein Opfer hat sie auch schon gefunden: den jungen Earl Charles Broughton. Nur seine Mutter, die herablassend höfliche Lady Uckfield, könnte zum Problem werden. Aber wer ein rechter Snob werden will, der überwindet jedes Hindernis …

Wird er die Verfasserin des Briefes, vermutlich eine Dame aus den besten Kreisen, ausfindig machen? Der neue Roman von Julian Fellowes, dem Drehbuchautor von Downton Abbey!

NOW A MAJOR ITV SUNDAY NIGHT DRAMAThe brand new story from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, set in 1840s London

SNOBS Edith Lavery, the attractive only child of a middle-class accountant, leaves behind her dull job when she manages to bag one of the most eligible bachelors in town. But is life amongst the aristocracy really all that it seems ...? PAST IMPERFECT Damian Baxter is very, very rich. But he has one concern: who should inherit his fortune. A letter from an ex-girlfriend suggests Damian may have fathered a child, but the letter is anonymous. Finding the truth will not be easy - and the only man who can help is Damian's sworn enemy ..

Edith Lavery, an English blonde with large eyes and nice manners, is the daughter of a moderately successful accountant and his social-climbing wife. While visiting his parents' stately home as a paying guest, Edith meets Charles, Earl Broughton, and heir to the Marquess of Uckfield, who runs the family estates in East Sussex and Norfolk. To the gossip columns he is one of the most eligible young aristocrats around. When he proposes. Edith accepts. But is she really in love with Charles? Or with his title, his position, and all that goes with it? One inescapable part of life at Broughton Hall is Charles's mother, the shrewd Lady Uckfield, known to her friends as "Googie" and described by the narrator---an actor who moves comfortably among the upper classes while chronicling their foibles---"as the most socially expert individual I have ever known at all well. She combined a watchmaker's eye for detail with a madam's knowledge of the world." Lady Uckfield is convinced that Edith is more interested in becoming a countess than in being a good wife to her son. And when a television company, complete with a gorgeous leading man, descends on Broughton Hall to film a period drama, "Googie's" worst fears seem fully justified.

Includes Shakespeare's original text followed by the adapted screenplay from the screenwriter Julian Fellowes.
