The Cazalets

The Epic Full-Cast BBC Radio Dramatisation

By: Elizabeth Jane Howard, Sarah Daniels, Lin Coghlan

Narrated by: Penelope Wilton, Full Cast

Penelope Wilton narrates BBC Radio 4’s epic dramatisation of the treasured family saga, Elizabeth Jane Howard’s five book chronicle of the upper-middle class. Cazalet family begins in 1938, as siblings Hugh, Edward, Rupert, and Rachel join together for another family holiday at Home Place, their house in the Sussex countryside.

During the course of The Light Years, Marking Time, Confusion, Casting Off, and All Change, the progress of their lives, and those of their children, will be charted. As their stories unfolds we gain a vivid insight into the lives, hopes, and loves of three generations during the Second Word War and beyond.

Dramatised by Sarah Daniels and Lin Coghlan, and with a large cast of actors across all five books, this remarkable radio event adds a new dimension to Elizabeth Jane Howard’s extraordinary chronicles. The first four Cazalet novels sold over a million copies, with the fifth being published in 2013, shortly before the author’s death.

Excellent

If you like the books, you will love this. Even if you have not read them, you will enjoy this if you like soap opera take things. Not everyone does. Anyway, this was very well done.

Lovely presentation of impaction of lives during WWIII

Its wonderfully presented and really draws you into the war and its many facets impacting families and relationships. I watched the series in Britbox and was so upset when i found they did not do the second season to tell us what happened to complete the story. I found the book (THANK GOODNESS) and the lovely presentation on Audible. It was more than i could have hoped for.

Cazalet world

Excellent with the sole exception of the voice of Zoe's American lover. Terrible American accent detracted from their story.
