Review: By far my favorite JF Novels - This story was mezerizing, engrossing and thoroughly entertaining. I laughed, cried, cringed, and lived through it all right along with the characters. Many who complain of the lengthy descriptions aren’t reading the book for what it is. It was the impartation of the philosophy of English upper class and what they went through in the tumultuous sixties and seventies and what it did to shape what British society is today. He is brilliant. Every word was selected to mean something. But then, one must actually care about British society to appreciate his painstaking presentation of that portion of history from that perspective. It was the unraveling of a culture and the rewinding it back up again. It was not only how it affected those caught up in the times but also how it has created what it has become. Take the time to read this book slowly and see it from the eyes of one who lived through it. It is pure gold.
Review: Reunion Season - Loved this book! - Julian Fellows writes novels as spell binding as his films. He has his own generation of aristocrats down to a tee. The narrarator is quite objective and a good man to his group of friends who gather for The Season in 1960's London. We learn about the individual characters of this group, and watch the evolution of the narrarator's unrequited love for one of the girls. The characters are about the sixth year of "the baby boom" and it's especially fun to follow them into middle age. The horrible evening that is referred to throughout the book is almost anti climatic to the remainder of the story, but it does give the reader an idea of the still youthful attitude of the crowd. Fellow's other novel could be the same group in a different circumstances. Reading both is a good idea. One book compliments the other. American readers will be fascinated by the tiny details of upper class British life which Fellow shares as one would an important but inside secret. I wanted to grab a pen and write them down as guidance of what Not to do in Britain. I found six - you might find more. And, American's shouldn't be huffy about the aristocratic and social climbing parents in the book. I see young people now are marrying later in life when they have experienced how well they can live. Many are examining their potential spouses for more than romantic love and considering what compromises would be necessary to live the life they imagine for themselves. The book is filled with memories, songs of the period,a treasure hunt and is thought provoking. Very well titled!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Purfect!
*by U***S on May 29, 2013*

Throughout the book, we never find out the narrators' name. Only that he is a moderately successful writer, who graduated from Cambridge circa 1970. At the time, his friends include an incredible range of aristocrats and socialites. He introduces a fellow student, Damian Baxter to the group. This is the basis for the story. As a dying billionaire software entrepreneur Damian summons the narrator to his stately home. He wants to locate the source of a rather rude letter. Damian and the narrator figure out the letter means that Damian might have fathered a child, some 40-years ago. Now, Damian is desperate to find an heir to inherit his huge fortune. Throughout to book we are haunted by an episode at Estoril. Only at the end, do we find out what happened there. Events that build up to the Estoril incident, form the story, as we flash back in time from the narrator's present investigations of potential mothers, to his and Damian's past involvements and encounters. In all, Past Imperfect is beautifully written. It is a fascinating insight into 1968 to early 1970's society. How did a group of friends, the offspring of wealthy parents interact with one-another? I just loaned it to a friend but maybe I'll read it again!
