Elizabeth Jane Howard – Years of Bitterness. Another installment of the saga, based on autobiographical threads, covering the destiny of subsequent generations of a wealthy bourgeois family, which we have been following since the late 1930s, erstwhile the planet known to date, with its traditions and privileges, begins to go back and forth.
England, Spring 1942.
The top military conflict in human past enters the 4th year. There is simply a increasing sense of danger and scarcity, and chaos ceases to be a distraction from regular – it becomes a way of life.
The dark days of conflict are a gratifying background for everyday members of a privileged household Calytes. Both in a quiet village in Sussex and in the harassed London raids, the separated Cazalets begin to announcement that the war conflict for endurance resonates with confusion in their own lives.
Despite the hard reality they face, something begins to wake up in the young Calelytes: the waiting time is coming to an end and the breathtaking planet of adulthood is at hand. Iron Victorian morality loosens its yoke, and under the appearance of war effort and dedication women can yet work – and love – with greater freedom.
In the way of birth and loss, matrimony and illegal relationships, there is simply a life of the Calalite clan, their friends and loved ones, a life driven by the dreams of peace after the war, a minute erstwhile the household will be together again, and wounds will begin to heal, dreams of equality and justice, which will bring with it a fresh order, fantasies of the day erstwhile all this confusion will end.
