Albion

An addictive family saga exploring inheritance, class privilege, and the responsibility that accompanies it in a changing world. The Brooke family gathers for four days at their 18th-century English country estate to bid farewell to Philip--the patriarch around whom their lives have orbited. Frannie, the eldest daughter and heir, seeks to transform the property into a nature sanctuary in the face of a world in decline. Milo, by contrast, dreams of turning it into a paradise for the ultra-rich, while Isa--the youngest sister, estranged from Philip for years--arrives at the funeral in the midst of a marital crisis. The secrets and emotions that surface during those days force them to re-evaluate the roles they have occupied within the family until that moment. *Albion* is a luminous and profoundly contemporary novel that delves into family dynamics and the lingering wounds of colonialism; in it, Anna Hope breathes new life into the classic English country-house novel, while also examining the roots of privilege, the responsibility it entails, and the importance of the values ​​we pass on to our children.
