Product Description

Product Description

Home Place, Sussex, 1939. The English family at war...

The sunlit days of childish games and familyn meals are over, as the shadows of war roll in to cloud the lives of one English family.

At Home Place, the windows are blacked out and food is becoming scarce as a new generation of Cazalets takes up the story. Louise dreams of being a great actress, Clary is an aspiring writer, while Polly, is burdened with knowledge and the need to share it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written and unputdownable, 12 April 2001
By A Customer
Marking Time follows the Cazalet family into the early years of the Second World War. The children are getting older and developing into strong characters. Louise achieves her ambition of going on stage and, separately, meets her future husband and Polly worries about everyone except herself, focussing particularly on her parents and on Louise's cousin Christopher. But it is with Clary where your sympathies lie as she steadfastly refuses to believe that her beloved father Rupert is dead, despite being missing in action for some time, inventing elaborate stories to explain his whereabouts.

The children are Marking Time, waiting to become adults when their lives will really begin. Clary is Marking Time waiting for her father to return, as she knows he will, and the whole Cazalet family are Marking Time, in those strange early war years when no-one knows how long it will last and when their lives will return to some sort of normality. The characters are beautifully drawn and their stories carry you with them, so that by the time you get to the end, I guarantee you will, as I did, go straight out to get Confusion, the next volume in the Cazalet Chronicle, to follow their lives further.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd of four books in the Cazalet Chronicle, 7 Oct 2001
By Mrs. S. Murray "shanter" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This, the second in the series, was not quite so absorbing as the first but was still a most enjoyable read. I have just ordered the last two books in the series so that I can see what happens next!
