Publisher's Summary

Three generations of Cazalets spend each summer in their family house: Home Place, Sussex. For two unforgettable summers, they are safe from the advancing storm clouds of the Second World War. These are sunlit days of childish games, lavish family meals and picnics on the beach.

Elizabeth Jane Howard has produced a gripping chronicle of an English family and the fascinating tangle of their affairs.
