Book 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. Marking Time is the second volume in The Cazalet
Chronicle. The next novel in the series is Confusion. Elizabeth Jane
Howard is the author of fourteen highly acclaimed novels, most recently
Love All. The Cazalet Chronicle - The Light Years, Marking Time,
Confusion and Casting Off - have become established as modern classics
and were adapted for a major BBC television series. In 2002 Macmillan
published her autobiography, Slipstream. In that same year she was
awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
