Description
Restoration is set in eighteenth-century England: a world of cruelty, injustice and iron privilege.
Lord Are is forced by poverty into an unwanted marriage with the daughter of a wealthy mineowner.
One morning, during breakfast, he commits a bizarre and fatal crime.
He seeks to pin responsibility for it on his guileless, illiterate footman, Bob Hedges.
A battle ensues between Bob's black, justice-hungry wife and the fortified privilege of the ruling classes."Bond's great gift as a comic moralist makes Lord Are condemn himself without sacrificing a scintilla of wit.
Bond takes the Restoration style, enters it and turns it against itself" Robert Cushman, Observer
