Title : The Cazalet Saga - Volume 3 - Confusion - Lucia Graves - Book
Summary :
March 1942. Polly and Clary, the two cousins who were still children in English Summers and who, as teenagers, played a leading role in The Hard Place, are now seventeen years old and aspire to only one thing: to escape the family vice by leaving Home Place for London. Polly is still in shock from the death of her mother, Sybil, who succumbed to the cancer that was eating away at her. Clary, whose father Rupert has not given any sign of life since the note brought by a French soldier, is on the verge of losing hope. Adding to the grief of the two heroines is frustration at the stubborn silence of the Cazalet clan: the adults refuse to talk about serious matters, and continue to treat them as children. What role model can the two young girls identify with? Their cousin Louise gives up her acting career to become a mother. Their Aunt Rachel is so devoted to her parents that she lets her precious friend Sid move away. And while Clary's stepmother, Zoë, falls for an American, Uncle Edward's indiscretions against Aunt Villy threaten to shatter everything. Despite the sirens and the bombings, London is still more attractive than Home Place, where it's freezing cold and leaden.
