It is 1942 and the dark days of war seem never-ending. Scattered across the still-peaceful Sussex countryside and air-raid threatened London, the divided Cazalet family begin to find the battle for survival echoing the confusion in their own lives. Headstrong, independent Louise surprises the whole family when she abandons her dreams of being an actress and instead makes a society marriage. Polly and Clary, now in their late teens, finally fulfil their ambition of living together in London, but the reality of the city is not quite what they had imagined. Polly is struggling to come to terms with the death of her mother and manage her grieving father. Clary meanwhile is painfully aware that what she lacks in beauty she makes up for in intelligence, and is the only member of the family who believes that her father might not be dead. The third instalment in the bestselling The Cazalet Chronicles, charming, poignant and irresistible. 490pp, paperback.
