But only a few miles away, a dreadful accident propels a crowd of mysterious and not altogether savory survivors to seek shelter at the ramshackle manor-and the household is thrown into confusion and mischief. The cook toils over mock turtle soup and a chocolate cake covered with green sugar roses, which the hungry band of visitors is not invited to taste. But nothing, it seems, will go according to plan. As the passengers wearily search for rest, the house undergoes a strange transformation. One of their number (who is most definitely not a gentleman) makes it his business to join the birthday revels. Evening turns to stormy night, and a most unpleasant parlor game threatens to blow respectability to smithereens: Smudge Torrington, the wayward youngest daughter of the house, decides that this is the perfect moment for her Great Undertaking. The Uninvited Guests is the bewitching new novel from the critically acclaimed Sadie Jones. The prizewinning author triumphs in this frightening yet delicious drama of dark surprises-where social codes are uprooted and desire daringly trumps propriety-and all is alight with Edwardian wit and opulence. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Parties|zEngland|y20th century|vFiction. 650 0 Manors|zEngland|y20th century|vFiction. 650 0 Accident victims|vFiction. 650 0 Family secrets|vFiction. 650 0 Dysfunctional families|vFiction. 651 0 England|xSocial life and customs|y20th century|vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Suspense fiction.|2gsafd 700 1 Reading, Kate. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11632110?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780062247841_180.jpeg
