By John Lanchester

The British aristocracy is a world of tradition and privilege, of stately homes and ancient titles. But behind the facade of glamour and wealth lies a complex and often hidden world of secrets and scandals.

In The Lords of the Realm, acclaimed author John Lanchester takes readers on a journey into the heart of this elite world. He explores the history of the aristocracy, from its origins in the Norman Conquest to its modern-day incarnation as a wealthy and influential social class.

Lanchester tells the stories of some of the most famous and infamous members of the aristocracy, including the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Snowdon, and the Duchess of York. He reveals the secrets of their lives, their loves, and their losses. And he examines the changing role of the aristocracy in British society, from its days as a ruling class to its modern-day status as a symbol of national identity.

The Lords of the Realm is a fascinating and in-depth look at one of the world's most enduring and fascinating institutions. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, or the sociology of power.
