Looking for a good 'Aga Saga' to read!

I seem to have read nothing but psychological thrillers over the last few months and I'm a bit bored now. I want to really get into a nice big Aga Saga - any recommendations?

Examples - I loved Rosamunde Pilcher, Penny Vincenzi, Barbara Erskine. I think I've read everything they've written.

Some ideas would be great and much appreciated.

TIA

Cazalet sagas, there are five of them set from 1938 ish to late 1950s.Written by Elizabeth Jane Howard, very different from psychological thrillers!

Maeve Binchey books are so Aga saga.

Ah, I've read those as well, but not for a long time. 15 yrs + so there's an excellent chance I'll have forgotten them 😂 I think I'll invest in those - thank you!

Hmm, not sure I've read any of hers. Definitely one to explore.

Isn't Joanna Trollope meant to be the 'queen of Aga sagas'?

Start with Circle of Friends or Light a Penny Candle.

Oooh forgotten about Maeve Binchey, well done @Howeverdoyouneedme!
Think I've read them all but always worth another read

Try Dorothy Whipple’s books published by Persephone Books - particularly The Priory or They Were Sisters.

I love Elizabeth Jane Howard, Mary Wesley and recently Elizabeth Taylor.

On the between an Aga Saga pyscho thriller is Fay Weldon

Susan Howatch. Try Penmarric or Cashelmara. Or the Starbridge sequence.
