Sussex, 1937. Summer is always a lively time for the Cazalets. The brothers Hugh, Edward, and Rupert bring their wives and children to the family country house, where they join their parents and sister Rachel. Sunny days are filled with games, picnics on the beach, walks, and banquets. It is two months full of joyful confusion for the clan. But not even this idyllic setting can keep away fears, pain, and loneliness. Hugh is tormented by memories of the battlefields in France, and fears that the world will enter into conflict again. Charming Edward has more mundane matters to worry about—as long as his wife, Villy, a bored former ballerina, doesn't find out. Rupert, a talented artist, discovers that he cannot be both a good painter and a good husband. And Rachel's fierce loyalty to the family seems to ruin any romantic prospects she might have. The three generations of the Cazalet family, their servants, and friends feel safe from the storm brewing in Europe. These are unforgettable summers. The final years of the world's innocence.
