The Satisfying Conclusion to the Cazalet Saga,
By
This review is from: Casting Off (Cazalet Chronicle) (Paperback)
The fourth and final volume of "The Cazalet Chronicle" brings to a satisfying conclusion the story of this much-extended English family. Taking place in the aftermath of World War II, each family member grapples with the rationing, food and housing shortages, and other deprivations the English endured. Marriages break apart and new unions are formed, pregnancy shatters the life of one cousin while another eagerly anticipates motherhood, new careers are begun, family rifts pit brother against brother, and old loves are rekindled as the Cazalets head into the future. Elizabeth Jane Howard writes the intimate details of their lives with a warmth,humor, and passion that is almost magical.

A great send-off to a great series!,
By Maggie "maggie79" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CASTING OFF (Cazalet Chronicle) (Hardcover)
This was, I think, the most touching book of the Cazalet series. After the war their situations are not automatically better, but slowly things begin to improve for some of the Cazalets. Clary and Polly fall in love, Rupert and Zoe try to rediscover each other, and Louise makes peace with her past and takes control of her life. For those in the United States who are having a hard time finding this book (as I did) I suggest you try W. H. Smith On-line. I ordered it from them and it took about a month to arrive from England (cost was about 10 pounds).

frustrated reader can't believe vol. 4 is out of stock!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Casting Off (Cazalet Chronicle) (Paperback)
I can't believe this book is out of stock! The end of volume 3 of the Cazalet chronicles leaves you yearning for the final volume (Howard has slowing been increasing the emotional tension with each volume)--and now I'm left in limbo indefinitely! Can't you get some word from the publisher?
