If I loved the Cazalet Chronicles...

What could I read next? I'm on the fourth book, have the fifth ready and waiting and I'm already feeling bereft at the thought of finishing them all... I'm going on holiday soon and want to have some books loaded onto my kindle to look forward to. I have become completely immersed and obsessed with the Cazalets and their lives - if you also loved these books what else would you recommend?

Gremlin's ate my post, which I thought I'd published.

Sara Donati's series set in colonial America.

Also an older series, the Jalna books (The Whiteoak Chronicles), by Canadian writer Mazo de la Roche. It's been a long time since I read one, but she was a very popular author in the 30s and 40s.

I meant to add also RF Delderfield's series which starts with A Horseman Riding By. I remember enjoying their gentle, rural settings.

Coming Home by Rosamund Pilcher?

Not read these yet but you might like the Spoils of Time trilogy by Penny Vincenzi or The Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer - both are some of the best books I've ever read.
