Narration Supposing Books Prošlo nesavršeno vrijeme

Damiana Baxtera upoznao sam na Cambridgeu. Sreli smo se u vrijeme kada sam uveden u londonsko društvo krajem šezdesetih. Upoznao sam ga s nekim curama pa smo neko vrijeme svi zajedno landrali Londonom…

Četrdeset godina poslije, pripovjedač mrzi Damiana Baxtera. No, koliko god bilo ugodno kada ti se javi stari prijatelj, zanimljivije je kad ti se javi stari neprijatelj, stoga će prihvatiti molbu bogatog Damiana na umoru da pronađe majku djeteta koje je možda napravio tijekom jedne blistave, ali razorne londonske društvene sezone. Potraga će pripovjedača vratiti u čudesan svijet raspojasanoga Londona šezdesetih koji vrvi dobrim društvom i lošim ponašanjem.

If you just couldn't get enough of Downton Abbey and wonder what would have happened to the English aristocracy if the show had covered the 1960's - present day, "Past Imperfect" could be just the thing for you. After all, Julian Fellowes wrote the screenplay for "Gosford Park," and then wrote and produced Downton Abbey. But be forewarned - it's not quite so glamorous in the second half of the 20th century as it was in the first half. And that was, for me, all the more reason to love this book.

A big book of 500 pages. This makes it a bumper book af about 170,000 words. Now, some agents/publishers say that a book shouldn't exceed 80-100,000 words even if it is historical. Well perhaps they don't have quite the attention span of most enthusiasteic readers of today. For myself, I was totally absorbed throughout the span of the book.The book is set in the present and periodically takes the main part of the story back to the London Season of 1968. This, for the narrator is a glittering

I loved it. It is a bit old-fashioned, deliciously sentimental novel. The plot is rather simple - a dying millionaire asks his once-friend, now almost-enemy to research a list of women from their shared past, to find out which one has a child by him, as he suspects on the basis of a letter. The narrator accepts and sets out on a task which takes him back years in time, to the happy summer of 1968 when they all made their "debut" during the London season. It is a trip down memory lane, in very

No matter his astute criticism of the aristocracy and its snobbery, Julian Fellowes is himself also a colossal snob. That's the one downside to what is otherwise a really fun pseudo-mystery about the paternity of a child sired during the coming out season of 1968. I enjoyed pretty much every page, even though the writing is just a wee bit overwrought when it came to the protagonist and Serena. Great fun!

Past Imperfect had an interesting rhythm, once it got going, flipping between the introduction of characters during their youth and the same characters in present day. There was a mystery, of sorts, but the real tease was an apparently terrible night, which was referenced by nearly every character in the book. Julian Fellowes brought everything together in his usual brilliant way. Loved it all, 5 stars.

As a fan of "Downton Abbey" I pounced on Julian Fellowes novel Past Imperfect and a swell story it is. It is, first and foremost, not a novel of Edwardian manners and mores but, on the other hand, a modern novel which is set in 2008 and looks back to events in 1968. The story is narrated by a nameless narrator (unless I missed it, he is never named) who is a moderately successul London-based novelist. Out of the blue he receives a request from Damien Baxter, a person he knew from the London

Fellowes is amusing because he is keenly observant, advantageously placed, literate, and loquacious. He puts words together in a way that makes us smirk and smile and acknowledge to be largely truthful, if not entirely. He writes of a class of society most of us will never know personally: the rich, the famous, the titled. While we may not aspire to the life these people endure, there is something intrinsically interesting about a life without the more usual set of boring constraints most of us
