I will be interested to know what you thought of this book which I read just before Christmas after re-reading the first 4 Cazalet novels.

Swissrose

Gosh, it's years since I read any EJH but you got me at 'fifth' - I love a saga! Will have to look these up and begin at the beginning... ;)

Swissrose

So enthusiastic, I meant to say how appealing it looks, visually...

Lina Baines

I've just finished reading all of the books in the Cazalets series. It's wonderful reading - the kind of characters and writing that grow on you the more you read about them.

Chris

Lovely reading, I finished the 5th this week and cried.

Cornflower

It's lovely, and do give the books a try.

Cornflower

I haven't had time for a re-read so am just picking up the threads.

Cornflower

I'm certainly enjoying being back with them.

Cornflower

Aw!

Dixie Lee

pity we poor Americans, waiting for it to come out here....read "Slipstream" last week instead - thanks for your recommendation.

I was disappointed with the cover design after the originals (I have all the previous four in hardback with dust jackets) but I have warmed to it, even though it's nothing like the originals and really looks totally out of place next to them. But I do love the Morris end papers. I don't think the writing is quite up to the four originals, but then dear EJH was approaching 90 when she was writing this fifth and final book, and perhaps all had been said about the Cazalets ... I do think she didn't intend to resurrect them when she had finished Casting Off. But I loved it, and am sorry that not only will there be no more Cazalets but no more of anything from the pen of EJH.

Cornflower

This may be of no interest to you, Dixie Lee, but the UK Book Depository has it at a reasonable price and will ship it free (worldwide).

Cornflower

I wonder whether, vis-a-vis the earlier books, the cover was meant to reflect the "All Change" of the title.

Mystica

I've heard of this series but not read it. Love the cover.

Cornflower

Very much worth trying, Mystica.
