it was ok
bookshelves: humour

Billed as a send up of the English class system, but more of a dig at 80s poly-industrialist nepotism. Layers of stories within stories, augmented with letters, newspaper clippings etc. It mainly tells the story of a man trying to write a history of a powerful family, and thus tells their stories too.

Aspects of this have similarities with one of the stories in David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas", http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
