The sweeping family saga that began with The Light Years and Marking Time continues as the women of the Cazalet family carry on while the world reels from the ever-increasing atrocities of World War II. Spring, 1942. As war ravages the world, the Cazalet family faces battles of their own at their Sussex estate. Grieving her mother’s sudden death, Polly escapes to London with her cousin Clary, only to face harsh truths about independence and their fragile bond. Nineteen-year-old Louise dives into a whirlwind marriage to a naval officer, but wartime realities soon shatter her romantic dreams. And with Rupert missing in action, Zoë wrestles with hope and desire, torn between loyalty and the solace of a forbidden connection. Rich with emotion and historical detail, Confusion paints an intimate portrait of a family navigating a world undone by war.
Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Jane Howard was a highly acclaimed English novelist, as well as an actress, model, and playwright. In 1951 she won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for her first novel, The Beautiful Visit. Six books followed before she wrote her best-known work, The Cazalet Chronicles, a five-part bestselling series about a multigenerational family during wartime Britain. All novels—The Light Years, Marking Time, Confusion, Casting Off, and All Change—have become modern classics and were adapted into a major BBC radio and TV series.
