Why does Simeon Simcox, the wealthy, eccentric, left-wing Rector of Rapstone Fanner, leave his fortune not to his two sons but to an odious Tory Minister, Leslie Titmuss? John Mortimer's brilliant novel unveils the follies and passions of an astonishing array of characters, and creates a vivid portrait of English life from 1945 to the present, to reveal just why paradise is always postponed.
