Damian Baxter is very, very rich - and he's dying. Living alone in a big house in Surrey, looked after by a chauffeur, butler, cook and housemaid, he has only one concern: who is going to inherit his fortune? Past Imperfect tells the story of Damian's quest to find out whether he has a living heir. By the time he married in his late thirties a bout of mumps had left him sterile, but could he have fathered a child before his unfortunate illness? A letter from an old girlfriend suggests that he did - but the letter is anonymous. So Damian contacts a friend from his university days, gives him a list of the girls he slept with and sets him a task: to find his heir? This novel from Julian Fellowes, the author of Snobs and the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Gosford Park, is superbly stylish, witty and well-observed.
