The tangled lives of three generations evoke a vanished world in this, the first volume of the Cazalet Chronicle. Home Place, Sussex, 1937. The English family at home.... For two unforgettable summers they gathered together, safe from the advancing storm clouds of war.

Story
Elizabeth Jane Howard (1923-2014) wrote brilliant novels about what love can do to people, but in her own life the lasting relationship she sought so ardently always eluded her. She grew up yearning to be an actress, but when that ambition was thwarted by marriage and the war, she turned to fiction. Her first novel, The Beautiful Visit, won the John Llewellyn Rhys prize - she went on to write 14 more, of which the best-loved were the five volumes of The Cazalet Chronicle.

Story
A beautiful, very moving, melancholic and elegiac novel set in the late 1960s in Melton, a small town in the West Country. The story revolves around a disparate group of people who come together there to establish an arts festival...This is the story of their intertwining relationships and how they come to love, and not to love each other in different ways and why - a perfect book to curl up and read by the fireside on an autumn afternoon and as satisfying a read as Brief Encounter is a film.

Publisher's Summary
La magistral saga familiar que culminó la literatura Inglesa del siglo XX.
"Un formidable fresco histórico, social y personal donde un elenco de personajes tan bien definidos y puestos en escena, tan variados, distintos y complementarios, nos devuelve a la maravillosa costumbre de leer y contemplar el paso del tiemposobre la vida de las gentes que el genio de autoras como Elizabeth Jane Howard siempre mantendrá vivo." (José María Guelbenzu, El País)
"La melancolía, teñida de una sutil ironía, llena cada página de esta joya literaria hasta ahora escondida para el lector en español." (Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC)
"En pocas literaturas puede uno sentirse tan confortable como si de un guante a medida se tratara, como en esta espléndida novela-río." (Ángeles López, La Razón)
"Junto con Iris Murdoch,la escritora más importante de su generación." (Martin Amis)
"Una de esas escritoras que demuestran para qué sirve la novela, abriendo nuestros ojos y nuestros corazones." (Hilary Mantel)
"Tan distinguida, elegante y refinada como sus incontables admiradores podrían esperar." (Julian Barnes)
"Con el tiempo sus Crónicas, como las de Trollope, se leerán como clásicos sobre la vida en Inglaterra." (Sybille Bedford)
Primavera de 1942, el mayor conflicto armado de la historia de la humanidad se adentra en su cuarto año. Las incursiones aéreas y el racionamiento son moneda corriente, el caos se ha convertido en una forma de vida. Sin embargo, algo empieza a moverse entre los jóvenes Cazalet: el tiempo de espera ha terminado y el ingreso en el incitante mundo adulto parece haber llegado por fin. Bajo la pétrea moral victoriana del sacrificio y el esfuerzo bélico apuntan, sobre todo para las mujeres, unos hábitos menos encorsetados que permiten amar y trabajar con mayor libertad. Y así, en una sucesión de nacimientos y pérdidas, de matrimonios y relaciones ilícitas, va desarrollándose la vida del clan, de sus amigos y de sus amantes, que con la cabeza alta siguen adelante y sueñan con la paz después de la guerra, con el momento en que las familias volverán a reunirse y las heridas empezarán a sanar, con la igualdad y la justicia que el nuevo orden traerá consigo, con el día en que, definitivamente, acabará tanta confusión.
La monumental saga de Elizabeth Jane Howard, una de las construcciones novelísticas más ambiciosas y acabadas de la literatura inglesa del siglo XX, sostiene con toda precisión en este tercer volumen el tempo y la intensidad a los que nos tiene habituados.
