Handsome, wealthy Sir Waldo Hawkridge is the envy of all those around him.
So when the people of Oversett get word of his impending visit, excitement ripples.
But his planned visit ruffles a few feathers, too; not least for Miss Ancilla Trent, who worries about the relationship that may unfold between Waldo and her hot-headed young pupil, Tiffany.
And when Waldo eventually arrives in the village, his presence leads to the most entertaining of ramifications . . .

—— The IndependentMy favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours
—— Margaret DrabbleA writer of great wit and style ... I've read her books to ragged shreds
—— Kate Fenton , Daily TelegraphStrongly constructed - highly relevant - thoroughly fascinating
—— Sunday TimesRose Tremain has managed to get into the skin of her clever and wilful old heroine
—— Nina Bawden , Daily TelegraphA delightful and rather intoxicating book. Chin has a unique voice which enchants, surprises and beguiles
—— Darian LeaderSuch double happiness! Marilyn Chin in new, top form. What fun!
—— Maxine Hong KingstonEffervescent
—— iWickedly fizzing dialogue... delightful prose
—— Jonathan Gibbs , IndependentClever, well paced and structured
—— Keith Miller , Times Literary SupplementIntriguing first novel... The narrative voice floes with wit and vigour...his debut ties author and reader in engaging knots that echo the tangled webs connecting the gossipers and photographers and their privileged fodder
—— James Smart , GuardianIt's uncommonly well written, with a bountiful supply of manic energy... Would Paul Auster kill to write a book as playful, fast-paced and unashamedly populist as this? Doubtful, but somewhere there's a "Paul Auster" who might
—— Alastair Mabbott , HeraldSparky debut
—— Jonathan Barnes , Literary ReviewBenedictus takes us on a trail of the contentious highs and lows of the rich and famous in a mixture of dark humour and sharp dialogue. For Benedictus, and his valiant debut novel, more of the same please
—— Ben Bookless , Big IssueThe story of the ultimate celeb after-party, it's a knowing wink at publishing and celebrity culture - a high-concept first novel sitting just the right side of salacious
—— ElleThe Afterparty avoids smugness partly because it has more affection that vitriol for the culture that it mocks... It's very funny, but sad, too... Well-drawn characters, smart dialogue and a canny plot
—— Anthony Cummins , The Times
