Title : The House of Memory - Lucia Graves - Book

Summary :

September 1939. The Cazalet family, gathered at Home Place, learns of England's entry into the war following the invasion of Poland. One after another, London homes are closed to seek shelter in Sussex, where the concerns of everyone—parent, child, or servant—are regularly interrupted by German raids. Polly, whose parents are sinking into an unbearable silence, turns to Christopher's pacifist speeches and Miss Milliment's attentive ear. Clary, her best friend, records every inch of her life in notebooks and develops a thousand scenarios to explain the silence of her father Rupert, who has disappeared off the French coast. Could he have become a spy alongside General de Gaulle? Zoë, his wife, has just given birth to Juliet, who may never know her father. Fascinated, the two teenagers also observe their cousin Louise: at eighteen, when she makes her debut in a sinister provincial theater, she smokes and wears trousers, to the great displeasure of her family. Second volume of the Cazalet saga, A Rude Test picks up the thread of the lives of characters whose most buried secrets Elizabeth Jane Howard continues to explore, while England suffers the full force of the much-feared world conflict.
