In June 1950, a long-time patient of a London asylum is found dead in his bed. His identity is known, as is the fact that his wealthy family has for years made provision for his care. Unfortunately they are also dead and the only person who knows why the man ended up in an asylum for 50 years is the family solicitor who is now entrusted to locate a clergyman in Australia, and advises him he is about to receive a substantial sum of money. Where there’s a will, there’s a relative and this four-part story commencing in 1880 concludes in Australia 70 years later. Over one weekend in 1954 extended family dynamics come to life with relatable characters, more than one shock announcement, and a fall-out of mega proportions when just desserts are served – not to everyone’s liking. With insightful and often humorous commentary by one psychotic adult and one 12 year-old girl, A Sense of Entitlement is entertaining reading at its best.
