About this deal

Curl up and lose yourself in this hugely entertaining satire of a deeply dysfunctional family of aristocrats desperate to save their crumbling Cornwall home.' iNews As a filmmaker, Hannah Rothschild has produced award-winning films for BBC and HBO. Rothschild wrote a biography about her great-aunt Pannonica Keonigswarter titled The Baroness published in 2012 by Virago. The author’s debut novel The Improbability of Love was released in 2015. The story follows a female main character that finds a lost Watteau and becomes entangled in the trade of the art world’s elite. Jilly Cooper fans (and who isn't?) will love the unashamedly upmarket settings and posh characters. A romcom to beat the winter blues: funny, sharply- observed and boho-chic glamorous.' Wendy Holden, Daily Mail Rothschild has lectured on art and literature at the Getty Institute, Courtauld, the Royal Academy, the Hay Festival and written for many publications, including The Times, The New York Times, The Observer, The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Spectator and Harper's Bazaar, Financial Times, Elle, Washington Post and others. High Time delves once again into the aristocratic antics of the Trelawney family… Another thrilling portrait of the perils of great privilege.”— Town & Country

Hannah Rothschild is the author of House of Trelawney; The Baroness: The Search for Nica, the Rebellious Rothschild; and The Improbability of Love which was shortlisted for the Bailley's prize for womens' fiction and won the PG Wodehouse, Everyman, Bollinger prize for best comic novel in 2016.

About the contributors

A satirical comedy of manners on the ways business and finance interact - and is a whole lot of fun too. Wonderful and fanciful...High Time is fast-paced and high energy, but also contains moment of real sentiment. Hannah proves her deftness for wit and style in this Mitfordesque satire. High art hustles and Cornish castles, High Time is perfect escapist reading with real heart."- City AM

Her notoriety was sealed when drug-addicted saxophonist Charlie Parker died in her apartment. But her real love was reserved for Monk, whom she cared for until his death in 1982. This is a brilliant, witty and clever satire of the British aristocracy, about which it is both affectionate and deadly.' Sydney Morning Herald At heart, High Time is a giddily excitable caper about aristocratic real estate masqueradin as something Nancy Mitford and Jilly Cooper might have cooked up.” Hannah Rothschild has written a wonderful satirical novel about a rare French Painting.' Andrew Marr, Start the Week

High Time’ opens in January 2016, six years after the closing of ‘House of Trelawney’ and again follows a number of interwoven stories centred on Trelawney Castle in Cornwall, where the Trelawney family have lived for eight hundred years. I won’t mention plot details as it’s far too easy to enter spoiler territory for ‘House of Trelawney’. High Time is a manically and magical wonderful romp, fast and furious in pace, style and extravagance' - Geordie Greig She is a Non-Executive Director of RIT Capital Partners and Windmill Hill Asset Management.
