One of his most admired works, Loving describes life above and below stairs in an Irish country house during the Second World War. In the absence of their employers the Tennants, the servants enact their own battles and conflict amid rumors about the war in Europe; invading one another's provinces of authority to create an anarchic environment of self-seeking behavior, pilfering, gossip and love. Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century and it was included in TIME'S 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
