The Winshaw Legacy (Testament à l'anglaise / Jonathan Coe ; traduit de l'anglais par Jean Pavans)

If Charles Dickens and Agatha Christie had ever managed to collaborate, they might have produced this shamelessly entertaining novel, which introduces readers to what may be the most powerful family in England--and is certainly the vilest. A tour de force of menace, malicious comedy, and torrential social bile, this book marks the American debut of an extraordinary writer.
