Textul de pe ultima copertă
The
final
installment
of
the
saga
of
the
Grevilles
of
Abingdon
Pryory
begins
in
the
early
1930s,
as
the
dizzy
gaiety
of
the
Jazz
Age
comes
to
a
shattering
end.
What
follows
is
a
decade
of
change
and
uncertainty,
as
the
younger
generation,
born
during
or
just
after
the
"war
to
end
all
wars,"
comes
of
age.
American writer Martin Rilke has made his journalistic mark, earning worldwide fame with his radio broadcasts, and young Albert Thaxton seeks to follow in his footsteps as a foreign correspondent. Derek Ramsey, born only weeks after his father fell in France, and Colin Ross, a dashing Yankee, leave their schoolboy days behind and enter fighter pilot training as young men. The beautiful Wood-Lacy twins, Jennifer and Victoria, and their passionate younger sister, Kate, strive to forge independent paths, while learning to love—and to let go.
In their heady youth and bittersweet growth to adulthood, they are the future—but the shadows that touched the lives of the generation before are destined to reach out to their own.
