I keep seeing the series recommended on MN book threads, but never hear anyone outside MN talk about them.

What are they like?

I've been reading them over the summer. Just started the last one today. Have loved them. Really well written, authentic depiction of well to do family life from late 1930s to 1950s.

My very favourite books, have read them over and over. Like slipping into a hot bath and sinking under the water. Bliss.

I loved them. I was tempted to read them after they dramatised the books on TV 15 years ago, and I was not disappointed.

I tried reading other books by the same author but they aren't as good as The Cazalets.

Wonderful - a tale of life that is now gone. A dip into recent history.
