The Cazalet Chronicles is Elizabeth Jane Howard’s best-known work, a five-book saga published between 1990 and 2013. The series follows three generations of the Cazalet family through the years surrounding World War II, from country house summers in the late 1930s through rationing and postwar adjustment.
The Light Years opens the series in 1937, and the story continues through Marking Time, Confusion, and Casting Off. All Change, published in 2013, brings the family into the 1950s and was Howard’s final novel. The books are praised for their detailed domestic observation and large cast of characters.
