Hunting Unicorns - Hardcover
A superb romantic comedy that is sharp, poignant and very funny Adrift in a rapidly changing world, the Bevan family cling to tradition while wrestling with taxes, tree blight and the need to keep the family skeleton firmly in the cupboard. The Bevans are The Earl and Countess of Bevan, both charming but mad, and their two sons Daniel and Rory. Enter Maggie, an opinionated American journalist researching a documentary on the decline and fall of England's upper classes. When these two worlds collide no one is prepared for the fallout.
