Feay, Suzi (20 April 2016). "The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild review – Baileys-shortlisted art world caper". The Guardian. High Time’ opens in January 2016, six years after the closing of ‘House of Trelawney’ and again follows a number of interwoven stories centred on Trelawney Castle in Cornwall, where the Trelawney family have lived for eight hundred years. I won’t mention plot details as it’s far too easy to enter spoiler territory for ‘House of Trelawney’.Her father’s legitimate heirs resent Ayesha, but as she discovers Sleet’s shady dealings she enlists them to help her bring Sleet down. It is high time that Sleet pays for his mistreatment of others. Her investigations takes us deep into the way money is manipulated and misused. You write extensively about Artemisia Gentileschi in High Time . Is she a favorite artist? Who are some others?

The art expert chat is always a triumph. What more can I say? It's my Book of the Year already.¹ BARBARA TRAPIDO Art also plays a major role in the narrative. Hannah Rothschild has had a long association with the art world and served five years as the Chair of Trustees of the National Gallery and so she writes about art from a strong foundation.

Rothschild has lectured on art and literature at the Getty Institute, Courtauld, the Royal Academy, the Hay Festival and written for many publications, including The Times, The New York Times, The Observer, The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Spectator and Harper's Bazaar, Financial Times, Elle, Washington Post and others. She is a Non-Executive Director of RIT Capital Partners and Windmill Hill Asset Management.
