In \u003cem\u003eMarking Time\u003c\/em\u003e, the outbreak of the Second World War shatters this idyll, and a new generation of Cazalet cousins begins to grapple with adult secrets and wartime anxiety. \u003cem\u003eConfusion\u003c\/em\u003e carries the family through the darkest years of the war, as London and Sussex alike are marked by loss, while the cousins' personal lives grow ever more complicated. In \u003cem\u003eCasting Off\u003c\/em\u003e, the war has ended and the Cazalet cousins, now in their twenties, must rebuild their lives amid infidelity, grief and the search for love. The saga concludes with \u003cem\u003eAll Change\u003c\/em\u003e, set in the 1950s, as the death of matriarch \"the Duchy\" marks the end of an era of servants, class and tradition for the Cazalet family. Together, these five novels form one of the most acclaimed family sagas in modern British fiction, praised for its social observation, elegant prose and unforgettable characters who age across three decades. Readers who love intergenerational storytelling and wartime drama will find this collection utterly absorbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 5-book paperback saga in one collectible set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpans three decades, from the 1930s to the 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich, character-driven family drama with wartime backdrop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of the BBC television and Radio 4 adaptations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ideal gift for lovers of classic historical fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new condition, ready to read or gift immediately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nElizabeth Jane Howard CBE FRSL (1923–2014) was an acclaimed English novelist celebrated for her elegant, incisive prose and deep understanding of human relationships.
