Per chi come me ha adorato la serie, questo libro è assolutamente una lettura obbligata. Racconta tutto nei minimi dettagli, qualunque curiosità sarà soddisfatta, qualunque domanda trova una risposta.... Ogni personaggi viene studiato attraverso le parole degli attori che li impersonano, dalla guerra agli abiti, dai rapporti sociali alle divisioni tra il piano di sotto e di sopra, c'é tutto.
Interessantissimo per rivivere di nuovo quelle atmosfere, aspettando la prossima serie in tv.

Il mondo di Downton Abbey

*******************************************************************************
Downton Abbey is one of the most important and famous th show of the last years. Set around 1912, the show tells the story of a family, Lord and Lady Grantham and their daughters, Lady Mary, Lady Edith and Lady Sybil. The show start when the family knows the news about the Titanic tragedy. This would shock anyone but especially the family, because one of the passengers in the ship was the heir of Downton, Lord Grantham's cousin and Mary's fiancè. The daughters can't inherit the title and, lacking an heir, the land property could be lost. The new heir is more distant than anyone would imagine... Matthew is a middle-class man, a lawyer, a man used to city life, to a job from Monday to Friday... He doesn't know anything about frac and smoking, which are the functions of a valet and which fork he has to use, but especially, he wants to get married for love and not for purpose. This is the beginning of everything...
Who, like me, loves this show, has to read this book. He tells everything in details, every question finds an answer, every curiosity finds satisfaction. Every character is studied through the actor's words, from war to clothes, from social relationships to the differences between upstairs and downstairs, everything is in.
So interesting to relive those atmospheres, waiting for the new season.
