While I had a cold last week I dipped into the Cazalet Chronicles by Elizabeth Jane Howard…and then spent the entire week gulping down the entire series (along with a few Nyquil gelcaps). It’s a four-book family saga spanning World War II, and I recommend it to all who need a Brit lit fix. There’s also a BBC series that covers half the saga. It has an amazing cast, but from what I’ve seen, it leaves a lot out.
