Epigraph

Dedication

For Dosia Verney

First words

Someone had turned off the wireless and, in spite of the room being full of people, there was a complete silence - in which Polly could feel, and almost hear, her own heart thudding.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0330488538, Paperback)

The place is once again Home Place, Sussex but the year is now 1939. The sunlit days of childish games and family meals are over, as the shadows of war roll in to cloud the lives of one English family. At Home Place, the windows are blacked out and food is becoming scarce. And a new generation of Cazalets takes up the story.
