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.

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"
