Publisher Description

This is the final volume of The Cazalet Chronicle, the quartet of novels chronicling the lives of a British family before, during, and after the Second World War. VE Day has been celebrated, but the war with Japan goes on. Polly, Clary, and Louise are grown up, discovering loneliness, loss, and passion. Rupert, missing in France for so long, returns to find Zoe curiously withdrawn; Edward will be forced to choose between wife and mistress; Hugh must finally accept Sybil's death. Casting Off shows us the lives of these individuals, but also gives us a panoramic view of what was happening in England during the crucial post-war period.

"Chronicles of a British family from slightly before WWII until the late 40s. Amazing detail of the place and time, great character development. Much of this series is autobiographical of E.J. Howard's own privileged upbringing and experiences during the war. Complete engrossing. "

    " The only bad thing about this book is that it was the last of the series. My life stretches out ahead of me like an empty wasteland. (Not really - but wow, these 4 books were great.) "
