(*The Guardian)  Enid Campbell, granddaughter of a duke, grew up surrounded by servants, wanting for nothing except love. But when her brother died in the First World War, a new heir was needed, and it was up to Enid to provide it. A troubled marriage and three children soon followed. Broken by postpartum depression, overwhelmed by motherhood and a loveless marriage, Enid made the shocking decision to abandon her family, thereby starting a chain of events--a kidnap, a court case, and selling her son to her sister for 500--that reverberated through the generations. Interweaving one significant day in 1964, when it seems the family will reunite for one last time, with a decade during the interwar period, A Perfect Explanation explores the perils of aristocratic privilege, where inheritance is everything and happiness is hard won.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trailhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44214329147572,"sku":"9780358120858","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/2746\/1812\/files\/61wpFLgz_6L._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1777608342","url":"https:\/\/trailheadbooks.com\/products\/a-perfect-explanation-by-eleanor-anstruther","provider":"Trailhead Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
