The Poor Rich

The Poor Rich 
On a wet day in a muddy farmyard deep in rural Gloucestershire, an elderly farmer learns that his winning lottery ticket has won him the undreamed-of sum of £72 million. Shadrach Yockenthwaite hides his money away, but a miscalculation leads to personal disaster. Over the years the millions keep reappearing and are handed over to ever more obscure heirs to the farmer’s fortune. But is this manna from heaven – or from hell? Who can handle it? Who can survive it? Who can profit? Of course the rich are not poor in one way, but can they be in another? With recourse to satire and black humour, Julian Fane tells the cautionary tale of one far-flung family, a strange brood whose reactions to sudden, unexpected wealth are as strange as they are.
