«Snobs» is Julian Fellowes's satirical novel, published in 2004 by Weidenfeld Nicolson in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Edith Lavery, daughter of a middle-class accountant, accepts the proposal of Charles Broughton, heir to a marquessate. The narrator, an actor who knows the aristocratic world well, reveals doubts about whether Edith loves Charles or his title. The shrewd Lady Uckfield distrusts her daughter-in-law, and the arrival of a television shoot with an attractive leading man stirs up life at Broughton Hall. A comedy of manners about social climbing and appearances.
Originally published in 2004. The author, Julian Fellowes, is an Oscar-winning screenwriter for Gosford Park.
For readers of social satire and book clubs; the sharp wit and portrait of the British aristocracy recall Jane Austen.
