A review by siria
Marking Time by Elizabeth Jane Howard

4.0

The second installment of the Cazalet Chronicles focuses mostly on the three teenage girls of this sprawling family—Clary, Louise, and Polly—each of whom feels like a very distinct person with their own voice and view of the world. Each of them feels like they are "marking time" as the usual frustrations of growing up (being too old for some things and too young for others) take on additional complications as the Phoney War ends and the Blitz begins. Elizabeth Jane Howard had a keen eye for the telling character detail, and <i>Marking Time</i> unfolds in a pleasurable readable way. 

I would like for a very large bomb to fall on Edward, the shit.
