With the family’s beloved Home Place long sold, Polly and Gerald have offered up their rambling stately pile, Fakenham Hall in Norfolk, to parents, siblings, cousins and children.The old guard – brothers Hugh, Edward, Rupert and their sister Rachel – look on as the England they knew and understood fades from view. Cousins Polly, Louise and Clary, all now on the brink of turning forty, are struggling to balance the demands of midlife with their personal desires – however secret. And then there are the young – a new generation growing up in a society on the cusp of real change.In this spellbinding novel, familiar faces reappear, newcomers are introduced, and the legacy of the Cazalets carries on into the Swinging Sixties . . .Continuing the story of one of the most beloved families in British literature, The Golden Hours is the brilliant new novel in Elizabeth Jane Howard’s iconic Cazalet Chronicles.
Drágám, tudatom veled...
Drága Nadine-om!
Tudatom veled, még mielőtt táviratot kapnál, hogy augusztus 21-én beutaltak a 36-os számú tábori kórházba egy kis sebesüléssel...
Most kényelmesen fekszem az ágyban, és a legjobb sebészek meg ápolónők megteszik értem mindazt, amire szükségem van.
Majd írok, hogy miként boldogulok, de innen már nem, mert arra számítok, hogy rövidesen elhagyom a támaszpontot.
Szeretettel: Riley Purefroy
1917 augusztusa
Egy levél, két szerelmes, egy borzasztó hazugság, háborúban mindig az igazság az első áldozat...

My Dear I wanted to tell you
A letter, two lovers, a terrible lie. In war, truth is only the first casualty. 'Inspires the kind of devotion among its readers not seen since David Nicholls' One Day' The Times While Riley Purefoy and Peter Locke fight for their country, their survival and their sanity in the trenches of Flanders, Nadine Waveney, Julia Locke and Rose Locke do what they can at home. Beautiful, obsessive Julia and gentle, eccentric Peter are married: each day Julia goes through rituals to prepare for her beloved husband's return. Nadine and Riley, only eighteen when the war starts, and with problems of their own already, want above all to make promises - but how can they when the future is not in their hands? And Rose? Well, what did happen to the traditionally brought-up women who lost all hope of marriage, because all the young men were dead? Moving between Ypres, London and Paris, My Dear I Wanted to Tell You is a deeply affecting, moving and brilliant novel of love and war, and how they affect those left behind as well as those who fight.
