This book is an elegy for the lost generation if there ever was one. Set against the backdrop of the late 1920s and 30s in England, this is about the coming of age of a mother and daughter, as the world comes of age between the two world wars. This book is so rich and decadent and full of life with all the aspects a good book needs - romance, familial drama, heartbreak, kinship, emotional reflections on this life and the next, and the time we spend in between the two.
