UK Kirkus review

After The Light Years, Marking Time and Confusion comes this, the fourth and final part of Elizabeth Jane Howard's Cazalet Chronicle. The whole is set in the period from 1937 to 1947, this volume taking the story from the immediate aftermath of victory in Europe. This is a story of the end of an era, not a beginning. Characters are changed not simply by events, but by time itself, some inevitably by emerging into adulthood. Painful adjustments are the order of the day - as the cast, from Polly, Clary and Louise to Rupert and Edward, discover. Elizabeth Jane Howard is a writer who, with immense skill, has taken the conventions of the romantic saga and deepened them to provide an unforgettable picture of England changing. (Kirkus UK)
