Welcome to Litsy!

The cazalet series is such a joy to read, and the 4th book covers 1946 to 1947 as the family experiences dramatic life events at the same time as England and the world changes. The brs Hugh Edward + Rupert emerge from the war amid personal turmoil, but its Louise, Polly, +Clary whose stories pull the reader apart emotionally. Other characters' stories include Christopher but most noticeably Archie. It will be sad to leave the characters in bk5

This made me chuckle , footballers going on strike for £7 per week 🤣

Closing this reading year with the fourth in the Cazalet Chronicles series. Already feeling sad that there‘s only one book left to go. Epic family-saga/historical fiction perfection; I‘m fully immersed in this family in the best of ways. Reading these books is like a big, comforting book-blanket

when your book falls in the pool yet you soldier on

As we dig our way out of yesterday‘s snowstorm, a wonderful package came to brighten the day!! Thank you so very, very much @merelybookish for the wonderful book gifts! ☺️

I decided: I want to finish this saga this year!
I love the story and it's a pleasure to read about The Cazalet 🥰

The Cazalets confront the new challenges of peacetime, and a Labour government and the familiar one of choosing totally unsuitable partners. The Polly and Louise storylines are perhaps a bit Mills and Boony but hey I'm an addict.

Volume 4 of the Cazalet Chronicles. Of course, I loved it. (Did anyone have a doubt?) So much drama & developments in the early post-war years - lots of endings but also new beginnings. Looking forward to vol. 5!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spent most of Canadian Thanksgiving finishing this and it was WORTH IT!
Love the Cazalets! This one made me cry.
Book 5 (the final volume 😢) has been ordered!

Look at the pretty spine on this edition of Book 4 of the Cazalet Chronicles! Kind of makes me want to buy the whole set!
And happy to be back in this world!

It‘s a moody, rainy late afternoon. Work is over for the week, and I‘m easing into the weekend with my current read, soft music via Calm Radio and dark chocolate. Happy weekend to each and every one of you!! 🍂

I try really hard to avoid #booksthatmademecry because most of the time I'm reading to escape the real world. Fault in our stars left me in a weepy heap at 3am and I've avoided everything similar since. So for #riotgrams today I've picked the 4th Cazalet book where the end of the war brings resolutions and tears, mostly happy/of relief. Love this series.

My pick for #peace in #maybookflowers is the fourth Cazalet book - which sees the end of WW2 and everyone adapting to peacetime and the changes the war has wrought. I love this series and this was the last for 20 years. Although the fifth book is good, this is still my favourite because you get Polly and Clary's grown up happy endings. If you've never read these, treat yourself and start at the beginning. You won't regret it.
