| Synopsis: |
Now the sunlit days of childish games and family picnics are over, as the shadows of war roll in to cloud the lives of the Cazalets. At Home Place, in the heart of the Sussex countryside, the windows are blacked out and food is becoming scarce... In this second volume of The Cazalet Chronicles, the story begins after the invasion of Poland in 1939, when war is clearly imminent and unavoidable, and, for all the Cazalets, life will change in ways they could never have imagined. |
