«Paradise Postponed» is the satirical novel by John Mortimer, published by Penguin in paperback (384 pages, in English).
The rector Simeon Simcox, from the village of Rapstone Fanner, leaves his entire fortune to a Conservative minister instead of to his two sons. From that enigma, the novel traces a satirical portrait of English life between 1945 and the present, with humour and social criticism.

For readers of British satirical fiction, with an interest in the humour and politics of twentieth-century English society.
Sir John Clifford Mortimer was a British barrister, dramatist, screenwriter and author. He is best known for short stories about a barrister named Horace Rumpole, adapted from episodes of the TV series Rumpole of the Bailey also written by Mortimer.
