Godchildren ……by Nicholas Coleridge
‘Nicholas Coleridge is managing director of Condé Nast in Britain, the magazine publishing house that includes Vogue, Tatler, House & Garden and Vanity Fair. In his new novel; a sweeping drama, Coleridge (A Much Married Man) zeroes in on a charismatic tycoon whose desires and drive know no bounds. As a godfather of six, wealthy and domineering Marcus Brand is largely absent, except for his occasional invitations to visit him at his enchanting island getaway. What develops is a confounding routine; at unexpected intervals, Brand summons his godchildren, only to wreak havoc on their lives and complicate their already conflicted opinions of him. Coleridge’s latest family epic will hold readers spellbound.’
“Nicholas Coleridge makes a witty and acerbic guide to this arcane, and largely secret, world.”–Julian Fellowes,Academy Award-wining writer of Gosford Park
“A keen observer of class, manners, and sexual frisson, Coleridge is a master of the social romp.”–Graydon Carter, editor-in-chief, Vanity Fair
“His most unputdownable novel yet.” –GQ
“Godchildren has everything you could hope for exotic locations, decadent parties, heroes and villains, sex and death…beautifully written.” Mail on Sunday (UK)
