Trelawney House

Bloomsbury presents *House of Trelawny* by Hannah Rothschild, read by Elaine Claxton. Trelawny Castle, the seat of the Trelawny family for over 800 years, has been the jewel of the Cornish coast. Each successive earl has spent his money lavishly, transforming the house and grounds into a sprawling, extravagant manuscript, replete with wings, turrets, and follies. But recent generations have been better at spending than earning. The family now lives in isolated poverty, unable to communicate with each other or the rest of the world, and is running out of options. Three unexpected events will hasten their demise: the sudden appearance of a new relative; a beautiful, illegitimate, headstrong young woman; and an unscrupulous American hedge fund manager bent on revenge; and the crash of 2008. *House of Trelawny* is set in two parallel, seemingly separate worlds: that of British aristocracy and that of finance. It tells the story of the friendships of three women, one dying, another discovering her calling, and a third finding love.
