Hannah Rothschild is, yes, one of ''those'' Rothschilds – the eldest daughter of Baron Jacob Rothschild, part of the venerable banking family. A writer and documentary filmmaker, she is also the chair of the National Gallery and a trustee of the Tate Gallery. It's no surprise, then, that she knows and depicts the art world just as well as she does the world of the super-rich. Her debut novel is an enchanting hybrid, mixing art and cookery, mystery and romance.
Further reading suggestion: For a funny take on the lives of the super-rich, try [[Number 11 by Jonathan Coe]]. For more historical cookery and mystery, we recommend [[An Appetite for Violets by Martine Bailey]]. You might also enjoy [[Paper Swans by Jessica Thompson]].
