Past Imperfect is a novel by Julian Fellowes, published in the UK in 2008.[1] The main character, Damian, is trying to find out if he has fathered a son who he can leave his vast fortune to when he imminently dies.
Kate Kellaway, writing for The Guardian, says "the book could not have been published at a less sympathetic moment" and that the book "is without moral reach and, more fatally still, lacks wit. Instead, there is lots of crude, misogynistic imagery."[2] In The Independent, Raffaella Barker proclaims: "This is a book for a hot winter beach, an escape from life as we know it. Fellowes does us a huge favour in chronicling the world of class-bound aristocrats and their arcane snobbery."[3]
