«Titmuss Regained» is John Mortimer's satirical novel, published by Penguin in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Sequel to «Paradise Postponed», it recounts the reaction of Conservative MP Leslie Titmuss, married to a second wife, to the construction of a town threatening his mansion in Rapstone Fanner. In the struggle between greed and environmentalism, he defends his interests and courts the widow Jenny Sidonia; a satire of contemporary England.
«Titmuss Regained» is the second instalment of the Rapstone Chronicles series, which begins with «Paradise Postponed» and continues with «The Sound of Trumpets».
For readers of British political satire and social humour.
