Hannah Rothschild in conversation with Gyles Brandreth

Hannah Rothschild talks with Gyles Brandreth about her third top-selling novel, High Time.  It’s a biting and satirical story of the aristocratic Trelawney family, first introduced in the House of Trelawney.  Gyles interviews Hannah on how she writes about the traditional English aristocracy floundering in a modern world.  

Hannah Rothschild is a writer, filmmaker, gallery advisor and philanthropist.  In addition to the Trelawney series, she has published The Baroness, a biography of her eccentric great-aunt, and The Improbability of Love – awarded the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction and short-listed for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction.
