Lord Robert's son, Arthur, is happily married to Chicago heiress, Minnie, who is pregnant and trying to come to terms with her new role as lady of the manor, and her charming but controlling mother-in-law, Lady Isobel. As Lord Robert and Lady Isobel get caught up in the preparations of the coronation of Edward VII, they debate the future of their recently orphaned niece, Adela. Isobel and Minnie want to take her in; Robert and Arthur do not. While they argue, Adela runs away and joins a travelling group of spiritualists and has a life-saving run-in with the king. \u003cbr\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eLong Live the King\u003c\/i\u003e, Fay Weldon continues the magnificent trilogy that began with \u003ci\u003eHabits of the House. \u003c\/i\u003eAs the award-winning writer for the pilot episode of the original \u003ci\u003eUpstairs Downstairs, \u003c\/i\u003eWeldon brings her deservedly famous wit and insight to this novel of love and desire, morals and manners.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFAY WELDON is a novelist, playwright, and screenwriter who, at the age of 16, lived in a grand London townhouse as the daughter of the housekeeper.
