Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A beautifully crafted novel, remarkably visual and evocative. The characters are caught in stunning images and tableaux that convey the essence of their natures, the sweep of their emotions." --The Washington Post In the autumn of 1913, Sir Randolph Nettleby assembles a brilliant array of guests at his Oxfordshire estate for the biggest pheasant hunt of the season. An army of gamekeepers, beaters, and servants has rehearsed the intricate age-old ritual, and everything about this splendid weekend promises a perfect consummation of the pleasures afforded the privileged in Edwardian England. And yet it is not: the moral and social code of this group is not so secure as it appears.

"The Shooting Party is a lovely piece of writing, in which subtlety, irony, and close observation abound." --Larry McMurtry.…
