Description
The Golden Hours is the brilliant new instalment in the beloved Cazalet Chronicles, started by Elizabeth Jane Howard and now continued by bestselling author – and Elizabeth Jane Howard's niece – Louisa Young.
It's Christmas, 1962, and the Cazalet family are gathering to celebrate. With the family's beloved Home Place long sold, Polly and Gerald have offered up their rambling stately pile, Fakenham Hall, to cousins, parents, siblings and children.
The old guard – Hugh, Edward, Rupert and Rachel – look on as the England they knew and understood fades from view. Cousins Polly, Louise and Clary, now all on the brink of turning forty, are struggling to balance the demands of midlife with their personal desires – however secret. And then there are the young – a new generation growing up in a society on the cusp of real change.
In Louisa Young's spellbinding new novel, familiar faces will reappear, newcomers will be introduced, and the legacy of the Cazalets will continue on into the swinging sixties...
The Golden Hours is the sixth novel in Elizabeth Jane Howard and Louisa Young's Cazalet Chronicles. Read from the beginning of the series: The Light Years, Marking Time, Confusion, Casting Off, and All Change.

Her twelve novels include the award-winning 'My Dear I Wanted to Tell You' trilogy, which Elizabeth Jane Howard called 'a triumph'. She has also written memoir - You Left Early, a True Story of Love and Alcohol; cultural history - The Book of the Heart, and biography - A Great Task of Happiness; The Life of Kathleen Scott (who was Captain Scott's widow, Louisa's grandmother and Jane's mother-in-law). Louisa is half of the children's author Zizou Corder as whom, with her daughter the actor Isabel Adomakoh, she wrote the 'Lionboy' novels for children. And she has also made an album of her own songs, 'You Left Early', as Birds of Britain, with Alex Mackenzie. Louisa's work is published in 32 languages, and she is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
