È il 1942: un anno è trascorso da quando abbiamo lasciato i Cazalet. Gli aerei ancora punteggiano minacciosi il cielo, ma si stanno per aprire le porte di un mondo nuovo, più moderno e ricco di promesse, soprattutto per le donne. Louise, Clary, Polly si avviano su strade diverse, tutte sospese tra la vecchia morale vittoriana del sacrificio e un costume nuovo, in cui le donne lavorano e vivono a testa alta la loro vita amorosa e sessuale.

E alla fine sono arrivati gli anni Cinquanta. Il capitolo conclusivo della saga si apre con la dipartita della Duchessa. Con lei scompaiono gli ultimi frammenti di quell'affascinante mondo fatto di grandi ville, di servitù e di tradizioni, in cui i Cazalet avevano prosperato. Adesso, mentre gli uomini della famiglia faticano ad affrontare le insidie dei tempi moderni, le donne cercano di farsi strada, ognuna a modo suo. Nel commovente finale, una nuova generazione si ritrova a Home Place per Natale. Solo una cosa è certa: niente sarà mai più come prima.

È l'estate del 1937 e la famiglia Cazalet si appresta a riunirsi nella dimora di campagna. Ad attenderli, uno stuolo di cameriere e domestici, lunghe passeggiate, il tè a letto la mattina, segreti e bugie. I due capostipiti, affettuosamente soprannominati il Generale e la Duchessa, vigilano su atmosfere d’altri tempi. Ma sotto la rassicurante e rigida morale vittoriana qualcosa sta cominciando a cambiare. Un romanzo "che mette voglia di divorare al più presto anche gli altri quattro capitoli della saga dei Cazalet." (Mario Fortunato, L'Espresso)
