About this Event

We are delighted to welcome Louisa Young here at Hatchards this evening to discuss

The Golden Hours

The Golden Hours is the brilliant new instalment in the beloved Cazalet Chronicles, started by Elizabeth Jane Howard and now continued by bestselling author – and Elizabeth Jane Howard’s niece – Louisa Young.

It’s Christmas, 1962, and the Cazalet family are gathering to celebrate. With the family’s beloved Home Place long sold, Polly and Gerald have offered up their rambling stately pile, Fakenham Hall, to cousins, parents, siblings and children.

The old guard – Hugh, Edward, Rupert and Rachel – look on as the England they knew and understood fades from view. Cousins Polly, Louise and Clary, now all on the brink of turning forty, are struggling to balance the demands of midlife with their personal desires – however secret. And then there are the young – a new generation growing up in a society on the cusp of real change.

In Louisa Young’s spellbinding new novel, familiar faces will reappear, newcomers will be introduced, and the legacy of the Cazalets will continue on into the swinging sixties . . .

The Golden Hours is the sixth novel in Elizabeth Jane Howard and Louisa Young’s Cazalet Chronicles. Read from the beginning of the series: The Light Years, Marking Time, Confusion, Casting Off, and All Change.
It promises to be an absolutely fascinating evening, do come along if you can!
