Maybe it’s not his intention, but I get the sense that the author is incredibly impressed by wealth. Something especially cringeworthy about this considering it’s an American writing about the British upper classes. Over here we regard those people as inbred and horse-faced.

Ok it’s kind of trashy but I just want something to get me back into reading. So far the descriptions of how prosperous London was in the 90s/00s is making me seethe. I also have contempt for families of that ‘dad is a financier; mum has generational wealth so can work in the arts’ class, so we’ll see if I make it all the way through without ragequitting.
