(1st in "The Cazalet Chronicle" series)

In this, the first book of THE CAZALET CHRONCILE, it is 1937 and the WW II is only a distant cloud on the horizon As the various Cazalet households prepare for their summer pilgrimage to the family estate in Sussex, we meet the entire cast. There's bluff, hearty Edward, in love with but by no means faithful to his wife, Villy; Hugh, wounded in the Great War, but devoted to pregnant Sybil; Rupert, who worships the body if not the mind of his child-bride, Zoe; and Rachel, the spinster sister, conducting a desperate clandestine love affair under the family roof. With her instinctive sense of the British social order, Elizabeth Jane Howard has created a new masterpiece in the tradition of THE FORSYTE SAGA, UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS, and THE SHELL SEEKERS.

Cleaning off the shelves in anticipation of a (probable) BIG move sometime in the next few months and this one just didn't make the cut. Ready to pass it along... =)
