Crazy Rich Asians (Crazy Rich Asians, #1)

by Kevin Kwan

The Dowager Marchioness of Uckfield was staying through the weekend, and he could scarcely imagine what she would make of these folk appearing at breakfast tomorrow. He made a swift decision. “I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t seem to find a booking under that name.”

This is a nod to one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite novels, "Snobs" by Julian Fellowes. Julian, as you may know, is the creator of "Downton Abbey," and I've loved all his novels, films, tv shows. Of course the snobby Dowager Marchioness would stay at the Calthorpe!
