Spend a snowbound Holiday within an Elizabethan mansion, amid a wicked and witty assortment of people: music artists, eccentrics, aristocrats, designers, and a pair of bickering spirits with a flavor for eavesdropping and Star Trek. Struck down by shingles, Cleo Byng postpones her wedding and heads north to extract at her infuriating Cousin Henry's house in the wintry Eyotshire community of Hazard. She's uncertain what things to expect, and Haphazard House actually is a dilapidated Elizabethan pile with few amenities and a doom-laden housekeeper, not forgetting a strange set who've been in residence for more when compared to a life span and have a keen fascination with modern technology. Any remaining hopes of your peaceful and uneventful convalescence for Cleo are dashed when she gets an immediate summons to travel abroad and rescue an old good friend from the grasp of the Hungarian secret police. Then, safely and securely back in Great britain, a crowd of welcome - and less welcome - friends, relatives and contacts descend on Haphazard House for what could be its previous ever Christmas before the demolition that threatens both it and its own long-standing residents. Can Cleo make Henry appreciate its charms - and hers? An charming and witty tale of marriage, misalliance, and misunderstanding. Evade into another world and delight in the lives of a host of fascinating characters. This is actually the Great britain of Wodehouse and Downton Abbey, where wickedness and scandal lurk under the superb self-confidence of top of the classes.
