«Un paraíso inalcanzable» is the novel by John Mortimer, published by Libros del Asteroide in paperback (456 pages, in Spanish).
After the death of the socialist vicar Simeon Simcox, his children discover that he has bequeathed his entire fortune to the Conservative congressman Leslie Titmuss. The novelist Henry, one of them, contests the will; his brother Fred, a rural doctor, investigates their father's past. The story spans forty years of the English countryside, from the postwar era to Thatcherism, between comedy and satire.
First novel of the Titmuss trilogy, translated by Magdalena Palmer; it was originally published in 1985 as Paradise Postponed.
Suitable for readers aged 15 and over, especially fans of ironic English fiction with an interest in social and political satire.
