Review: Couldnt put it down--read all five volumes straight through - A delicious British family saga, of the stuff Masterpiece Theater is made of. I was mesmerized through 4 of the 5 volumes. The 5th volume, written several years later, was not up to the quality of the first four, as if Elizabeth Jane had gotten out of the groove with the wonderful characters she had created. I had no idea the Brits were so hungry during the second world war--talking about food and clothing and coupons was a major preoccupation of the characters in the years 1941-1946. And that they still were hungry after the war ended, as the empire unraveled. The upper middle class dissolved during those years, and we did not know it. It is a true binge read. Give yourselve plenty of space and time to enjoy it. Review: Wonderful series - This is a collection of five novels by Elizabeth Jane Howard, written between 1990 - 2013. The author was born in 1923 and died in 2014, so she lived during the period of her fictional Cazalet family that is covered in the novels - 1936 through 1959, a time of vast change in England and in the way of life in its people and culture. The original Cazalets, Brig and the Duchy, are of the gilded age. They established the business at which the men worked, and the large family house in Sussex, Home Place. Their two oldest sons, Hugh and Edward, served in the First World War, and went to work in the family's fine wood business. Their daughter Rachel had not married and lived at home. The youngest son Rupert, was too young to fight in WWI. As the first novel, "Marking Time," begins, the Cazalets are living comfortable lives with London homes, nannies for the children, and holidays at Home Place, along with various friends. It's heaven for the children, and a busy, happy break for the adults, who have developed their own routines and traditions. The three subsequent novels run through the war and post-war years, the hardships, and the changes. The final book skips some 9 or 10 years, and wraps things up. I've reviewed each of the novels separately, but this is an overview of the series, and the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. I don't want to spoil the story or its elements, but it's a beautiful, well-written story, quintessentially British, and with very human characters, wisdom, and warmth. While nostalgic, it doesn't glamorize the pre-war years, or the heroism of the war. It's called a modern classic for a reason. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MEEW2II | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #202,369 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #447 in 20th Century Historical Romance eBooks #636 in Historical British Fiction #888 in 20th Century Historical Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (487) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 14.1 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1504041508 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 2607 pages | | Publication date | November 8, 2016 | | Publisher | Open Road Media | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![The Cazalet Chronicles: Five Novels in One Collection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CkWWjGSlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Couldnt put it down--read all five volumes straight through *by L***R on May 12, 2017* A delicious British family saga, of the stuff Masterpiece Theater is made of.

The videos don't cover the entire period of the novels (pre-WWII and following). So I purchased the novels to find out more about this British family's history. Lots of familiar faces for those who follow British TV. Good pandemic quarantine TV. Not intellectually challenging, but soap-opera entertaining. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/117475955-the-cazalet-chronicles-five-novels-in-one-collection](https://www.desertcart.us/products/117475955-the-cazalet-chronicles-five-novels-in-one-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
