Riassunto

A brilliant, hugely enjoyable novel set in England in the early eighteenth century, a time with remarkable parallels to the 1990s. Cecily Fitzhenry, married against her wishes to an ageing Walpole crony, finds that her husband has invested and lost her fortune in the South Sea Bubble. The only property left to her is a crumbling inn on the Great North Road, which she turns to running with a motley collection of support, many of whom run foul of the new laws. Cecily herself, a romantic Stuart in her leanings, learns practical lessons about the price of idealism, particularly at the hands of a wiley scottish lawyer.
