Marking Time

Elizabeth Jane Howard

Beautifully and poignantly told, Marking Time is the second novel in Elizabeth Jane Howard’s bestselling Cazalet Chronicles.

Home Place, Sussex, 1939. As the shadows of the Second World War roll in, banishing the sunlit days of childish games and trips to the coast, a new generation of Cazalets take up the family’s story.

Louise, who dreams of becoming a great actress, finds herself facing the harsh reality that her parents have their own lives with secrets, passions and yearnings. Clary, an aspiring writer, learns that her beloved father is now missing somewhere on the shores of France. And sensitive, imaginative Polly feels stuck - stuck without a vocation, stuck without information about her mother’s illness, stuck without anything except her nightmares about the war.

With cover artwork exclusively designed by artist Luke Edward Hall, this is the second volume of the extraordinary Cazalet Chronicles and a perfect addition to your collection. Marking Time is followed by Confusion, the third book in the series.

‘Charming, poignant and quite irresistible … to be cherished and shared’ - Times
