Deze omvangrijke epische roman volgt de levens en het lot van de Britse upper class van het einde van de Eerste Wereldoorlog tot in de jaren zestig. Verteld met typisch Britse humor en ingetogenheid, onthult het de complexe sociale relaties, persoonlijke successen en mislukkingen, en de stormachtige historische gebeurtenissen. Het werk is een meesterlijke studie van de Engelse samenleving, haar veranderingen en de vergankelijkheid van menselijke lotsbestemmingen, geschilderd tegen de achtergrond van de dramatische 20e eeuw. Het biedt een fascinerend inzicht in een generatie die het moderne Groot-Brittannië vormgaf.
