Klappentext 'This entertaining, often poignant, book is straight out of Waugh or Wodehouse' Catholic Herald Following a romantically disastrous foray to the US in the 1990s and two painful divorces, William Cash unexpectedly finds himself taking on the renovation of one of the oldest manor houses in Shropshire, Upton Cressett. Unfortunately, he is forty-three and without children. Both his house and heart are in need not just of 'fixing up' but salvation. As William embarks on re-building his life and ruin of a country house, he starts looking again for love. But money, patience and the likelihood of ever finding family happiness soon start to run out. Restoration Heart is a tempestuous, Gulliver-like voyage of the heart with a colourful cast of literary and political figures - including Tom Wolfe, Jay McInerney, Margaret Thatcher, Elizabeth Hurley, David Hockney, Piers Morgan, an American singing legend cousin and, most dramatically, a future possible prime minister. Hilarious and poignant, this 'restore-a-wreck' memoir is an account of how an Englishman suffered a mid-life breakdown and was rescued by architecture and beauty.
