Lord Robert and Lady Isobel Dilberne and the entire grand estate, with its hundred rooms, is busy planning for a visit from Edward VII and Queen Alexandra just a few months a way. Preparations are elaborate and exhaustive: the menus and fashions must be just so, and so must James, the new heir and son of Arthur Dilberne and Chicago heiress, Minnie O'Brien. But there are problems. Little James is being reared to Lady Isobel's tastes, not Minnie's. And Mrs. O'Brien is visiting from America and causing trouble. Meanwhile, the Dilbernes' niece, Adela is back and stirring up hysteria in the servants hall by claiming the house is cursed. The royal visit is imperiled, but so are the Dilberne finances once more. His Lordship is under tremendous stress, and the pecking order will soon be upset as everything at Dilberne Court changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Countess \u003c\/i\u003eis the final novel in Fay Weldon's exciting trilogy that began with \u003ci\u003eHabits of the House \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLong Live the King. \u003c\/i\u003eThe bestselling novelist and award-winning writer of the pilot episode of the original \u003ci\u003eUpstairs Downstairs \u003c\/i\u003elifts the curtain on British society, upstairs and downstairs, under one roof.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49387732336944,"sku":"BDb9uz","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49387732369712,"sku":"40b9uz","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/328361-b9uz-Square.jpg?v=1735201285","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-b9uz","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
