paradise postponed - john mortimer, 1985

a roaring good tale, this. satisfyingly juicy rich with convolutions and featuring a villain you love to hate so much that you actually feel sorry for him.

this is peyton place set in the sweeping english countryside and told in a suitably dry voice that makes you think of drafty stone buildings and windy moors. almost like a modern more digestible satirical version of wuthering heights.
