Library Tidings Book Review “House of Trelawney” by Hannah Rothschild From the author of “The Improbability of Love,” Hannah Rothschild, comes a dazzling novel, both sa- tirical and moving, about an eccentric, dysfunctional family of English aristo- crats and their crumbling stately home. For more than 800 years, the vast, rambling Tre- lawney Castle in Corn- wall — turrets, follies, four miles of corridors and 500, 000 acres — was the mag- nificent calling card of the earls of Trelawney. By 2008, it is in a complete state of ruin due to the dulled am- bition and the financial ineptitude of 24 earls, two World Wars, a Wall Street crash and inheritance tax- es. Yet Kitto; his wife Jane; their two children; Kitto’s ancient parents; and his aunt Tuffy Scott, an en- tomologist who studies fleas, all manage to live there and keep it going. Four women dominate the story: Jane; Kitto’s sis- ter Blaze, estranged from the family, who makes a killing in finance in Lon- don; their close friend, the wildly beautiful, seductive and long-ago banished Anastasia; and her nine- teen-year-old daughter, Ayesha. When Anastasia sends a letter announcing that Ayesha will be com- ing to stay, Jane and Blaze must band together to take charge of their new visitor — and save the house of Trelawney. Witty and irreverent, “House of Trelawney” is a brilliant parody of old aristocratic families, reces- sion Britain and a ruthless American banker that asks how we are all connected and how we can find pur- WEDNESDAY THURSDAY News about the Siuslaw Public Library By Kevin Mittge pose in a changing world. clude “books about books” A tale of old money, new and “Goodreads and Book- money and no money.
