Paying Guests

By E F Benson

In the tranquil yet subtly tumultuous world of Edwardian England, the delicate dance of social satire unfolds with the grace of a comedy of manners. Here, the genteel veneer of upper-class society is peeled back to reveal the intricate guest dynamics that define and defy the norms of the time. This early 20th century novel, once lost to the ages, has been lovingly restored for today's and future generations, offering a vivid glimpse into the English countryside setting where classic humour thrives.
