Helpful Score: 1

I usually don't care for British authors, but this was an exception. Set in Britian during the period before WWII, it is family saga. Each "chapter" is titled for one of the characters. The author doesn't burden the reader with a long list of characters, and family members. You don't need a score card to keep track of who is who, and who belongs to what family. There are those of "wealth and privledge" as well as those not so lucky. The book doesn't have the sex, violence and foul language so familiar to readers today.
Don't be tempted to read the last pages. This is the first book of the series, and I am very anxious for the second book to be published in the late spring.
The book is worth the wait. My copy came from the library.
