About the book

The Shooting Party by Isabel Colegate is a literary novel. A masterpiece of historical fiction, and the inspiration behind Downton Abbey It is 1913 - a breath away from the Great War - and Edwardian England is about to vanish into history.

An assorted group of men and women gather at Sir Randolph Nettleby's estate for a shooting party. Opulent, adulterous, moving assuredly through the rituals of eating and slaughter, they are an era's dazzlingly obtuse and brilliantly decorative finale. A quiet, elegant meditation on class frustration and the transience of human concern. The Shooting Party is also the inspiration behind one of the great landmarks of popular culture - Downtown Abbey.
