With peace finally declared, Casting Off follows the challenges of the Cazalet family emerging from war-torn Britain in the fourth book of Elizabeth Jane Howard's magnificent Cazalet Chronicles saga.
The Second World War has finally ended and so begins a new era of freedom and opportunity for the Cazalet family. The cousins are now in their twenties, trying to piece together their lives in the aftermath of the war.
Louise is faced with her father's new mistress and her mother's grief at his betrayal, while suffering in a loveless marriage of her own. Clary is struggling to understand why her beloved father chose to stay in France long after it was safe to return to Britain, and both she and Polly are madly in love with much older men.
Polly, Clary and Louise must face the truth about the adult world, while their fathers - Rupert, Hugh and Edward - must make choices that will decide their own, and the family's, future.
Elizabeth Jane Howard's bestselling and enduring Cazalet Chronicles concludes with All Change, the fifth and final breathtaking book in the series.
