It is the autumn of 1913. Sir Randolph Nettleby has assembled a brilliant array of guests at his Oxfordshire estate for the biggest hunt of the season. It seems a perfect consummation of the pleasures of Edwardian England, but the moral and social code of this group is not so secure as it appears.

The Shooting Party is an excellent microcosm of the European world at the edge of WWI. It's a beautiful story by itself, but so much more meaningful as an analogy of the disintegrating upperclass, the arms race, and the senseless waste of life that is to come. I highly recommend this book for anyone, especially those who have a strong interest in literature and history. If you want a real treat, read Barbara Tuchman's The Proud Tower before you read The Shooting Party.
