The Power and the Glory: Life in the English Country House Before the Great War by Adrian Tinniswood
US pub date - 11/12/24
As a North American who’s fairly obsessed with history, European history has held my attention in an incomparable way. The “English Country House” wasn’t something I grew up learning about, but has become a topic of much interest to me. Therefore, I was thankful to receive a copy of The Power and the Glory: Life in the English Country House Before the Great War and was very impressed by Mr Tinniswood’s writing talent and ability to make nonfiction read more like fiction, and engaging fiction at that.
I enjoyed my reading of this and learned a lot - it was my second time reading the author’s work and I will definitely be reading more.
Recommended to readers of English history, royal history, and/or classics from the time.
Thank you to Basic Books and NetGalley for the DRC
