Would have been better as a quartet - four fabulous novels. I note that Anna Chancellor played Edward's mistress in the TV series. I bet she was brilliant!<br /><br />Joann, hope you enjoy it, do post.<br /><br />Karen K, yes I started one of EJH's other novels but couldn't get into it. The four Cazalet novels are fantastic though. Polly is my favourite Cazalet I think!<br /><br />Heather, yes, I've passed the book to my mum to read and she's loving it too!<br /><br />Simon, back to the beginning then!<br /><br />Becky, I already want to re-read The Light Years and take in all the nuances.<br /><br />Kat, the TV series wasn't a huge hit here. Can't understand why as everyone went crazy for Downton Abbey<br /><br />Anbolyn.

I was so sorry to finish the fifth book. I've started collecting her other novels but have only read one so far, The Long View. It was good but I wasn't as in love with the characters as much as the Cazalets. I also have her memoir Slipstream which sounds really interesting.

(Sadly, the final book wasn't as good as the others when it appeared at long last.) I've just discovered the old TV series online which will be a treat.
