Carefree Years (#1).
1937, the storm clouds of war still loom on the distant horizon. Hugh, Edward, and Rupert Cazalet, along with their wives, children, and servants, travel to the family estate, where they plan to spend the perfect summer. Petty worries and irreparable sorrows, simple joys, shameful secrets, and disturbing premonitions—what happens when you gather all this under one roof? A tragicomedy of life with a British accent.

Still Time (#2).
1939. How to stay on your feet when the familiar world begins to crumble, loved ones become strangers, and the inevitable catastrophe looms ever closer? Each member of the Cazalet family carefully guards their secrets, makes mistakes, makes difficult choices, but, in their characteristic aristocratic manner, they certainly maintain their balance.

Tumult (#3).
1942. The war is gathering pace, and the chaos around them is becoming familiar. The Cazalets are divided: some in London, under constant threat of air strikes, others in Sussex, their family estate, where they are going through difficult times. Each seeks the strength to survive and tries to figure out their own lives – even during war, people fall in love, become disillusioned, and search for themselves. Confusion grips each of the Cazalets. In such turbulent times, family support is especially urgent.

Exodus (#4).
The aftermath of the war and the gradual advent of a new era, an era of freedom and opportunity, guide the destinies of the Cazalets in the fourth book of the saga. As adults, Polly, Clary, and Louise, each in their own way, learn the truth about the adult world. Meanwhile, Rupert, Hugh, and Edward must take important steps that will determine not only their future, but that of the entire family. For the Cazalets and everyone close to them, the end of the war promises a new beginning.

Everything Changes (#5).
1950. The Cazalet matriarch, the beloved Duchy, dies, closing the door behind her on the world of estates and servants, class distinctions and unwavering traditions in which the Cazalets thrived. Louise, now divorced, falls in love, but her romance proves less than rosy. Polly and Clary, meanwhile, struggle to balance family with their own ambitions. Hugh and Edward, both in their sixties, feel lost in a new world. Willie, long abandoned by her husband, must finally learn to be independent. But the greatest trials await Rachel, who has always lived for others... The climax awaits the entire family at Home Place, where at Christmas a new generation of Cazalets will boldly come into their own. Only one thing is certain: life will never be the same again.
