The Cazalets—parents, three sons and their wives, a bevy of grandchildren—and their servants gather in their country house in Sussex. Over the course of two long, hot summers—by turns idyllic and stifling—the Cazalets face both familial issues and the looming shadow of war. <br><br>Howard's clear-eyed view of the opportunities <u class="showmore_hide">for women in this time and place provides some bite to what in other hands might have been a fairly conventional family saga, and stops it from being too soap-y BBC period drama. It's a very large cast of characters, and I did find the frequent POV changes a bit irritating—I would have preferred to spend longer in one POV rather than constantly headhopping. I also found myself having to turn to the family tree quite a bit to keep track of the numerous grandchildren, although I will grant that Howard managed the rare feat of writing children who sound like children. Will definitely be continuing on with the series.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_387a7889');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_a896d29d" title="4 Stars" aria-title="4 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="8" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="7" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_274888506" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_274888506"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_274888506" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_274888506" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_274888506" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_274888506"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/siriaeve" target="_top">siriaeve</a> | <a href="/work/57067/reviews" data-workid="57067" data-title="The-Light-Years-Cazalet-Chronicle" class="" >56 other reviews</a> | Nov 18, 2024 | <a href="/review/274888506"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_231613547" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/14218773" data-workid="14218773" data-title="All-Change" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0330508989.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0330508989.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0330508989.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/14218773" data-workid="14218773" data-title="All-Change" class="" >All Change</a> by <a href="/author/howardelizabethjane">Elizabeth Jane Howard</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_2dd41e90" ><a href="https://fromtheheartofeurope.eu/all-change-by-elizabeth-jane-howard/" rel="nofollow" target="_top"></a><a href="https://fromtheheartofeurope.eu/all-change-by-elizabeth-jane-howard/" rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://fromtheheartofeurope.eu/all-change-by-elizabeth-jane-howard/</a><br><br>This is the climax of Elizabeth Jane Howard’s superb Cazalet series of books, published in 1983, 18 years after the previous four (which came out in 1990-95) and set ten years after the end <u class="showmore_hide">of the Second World War which dominated the previous books.<br><br>It shows an upper class family in the grip of social and economic change, with the entire basis of their world up-ended by the transformation of post-war Britain.

They cast off wartime clothing restrictions i.e. '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_clothing" rel="nofollow" target="_top">utility <u class="showmore_hide">wear</a>' for Dior's extravagant '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dior#%22New_Look%22" rel="nofollow" target="_top">New Look</a>'). They leave Home Place now denuded of the comforts of its large staff and they move to London, discovering both the drudgery of cooking and housework and the opportunity to meet new people and enjoy its cultural life. They cast off politicians such as the war-time hero Churchill for new horizons under Attlee's Labour government and a vision of a fairer society, exemplified by nationalising the coal mines and the National Health. They also cast off assorted spouses, leaving failed marriages through divorce while hoping for contentment in a new relationship or the chance to find a new love.</li><br> <li>'Casting off' as in the technique used to finish a piece of knitting, which might — after hours of work — be a lovely piece of craftwork or it might not fit or it might be a jumbled mess (like Miss Milliment's attempts at gifts). The war is over, but peace is a jumbled mess and people can't just fit back into their old lives. There's still rationing and shortages and people who come back from the war are not the same. Polly, Clary and Louise, the young women who had yearned for the war to be over so that they could start their lives, find that the postwar years are not what they imagined. They were too young to take up the opportunity for wartime work (though there were working class girls of their age in the Land Army and doing factory work) but as the men come back, there's a growing paucity of jobs for women and those jobs are boring and badly paid. Characters also find that it isn't just those in the armed forces and witnesses to war crimes who were traumatised. Even distanced from direct experience of its horrors, civilians are traumatised by Nazi death camps and haunted by nuclear weapons. And there are some fates worse than death, such as Nora's husband Richard, a paraplegic who has no agency in his life at all and yearns to die.</li><br><br>To read the rest of my review please visit <a href="https://anzlitlovers.com/2024/11/10/casting-off-1995-the-cazalet-chronicles-4-by-elizabeth-jane-howard/" rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://anzlitlovers.com/2024/11/10/casting-off-1995-the-cazalet-chronicles-4-by...</a> </ul></u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_a3da97f5');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_08e104da" title="4 Stars" aria-title="4 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="8" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="7" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_274921907" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_274921907"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_274921907" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_274921907" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_274921907" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_274921907"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/anzlitlovers" target="_top">anzlitlovers</a> | <a href="/work/56755/reviews" data-workid="56755" data-title="Casting-Off-Cazalet-Chronicles" class="" >21 other reviews</a> | Nov 9, 2024 | <a href="/review/274921907"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_274737021" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/836926" data-workid="836926" data-title="After-Julius" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0330338331.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0330338331.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0330338331.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/836926" data-workid="836926" data-title="After-Julius" class="" >After Julius</a> by <a href="/author/howardelizabethjane">Elizabeth Jane Howard</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_92d05bc6" >Julius died 20 years ago, but his life and death still have profound consequences on his wife and daughters, and on the men in their lives.
