Sinopsis

Pelham?s a fine tale, but mostly it?s remarkable as a classic 'Fashionable Novel' -- in its day, the Fashionable Novel was a genre unto itself, focusing on the manners, habits and lifestyles of the Rich and Famous of the first half of the 19th century -- the jet set of its day. Pelham?s sparkling cynicism makes fun of the genre as it executes it gorgeously, it also sheds an amazing light on a time and circumnstance well removed from our own.
