Hi there its ME......with sad news of the death of author, Elizabeth Jane Howard

The writer, Elizabeth Jane Howard, loved and followed for all of her books, and particularly by me for her tetrology of novels concerning the Cazalet family, died yesterday, 2nd January, 2014,  at the age of 90, at her home in Bungay, Suffolk.

The Cazalet Chronicles follow the lives and fortunes of an upper-class English family before and during WW2, and ends with her fifth and final book - "All Change"  published in the autumn of 2013.

I read all four books last summer and remember watching the BBC TV series of her first two books - "The Light Years" (1990) and "Marking Time" (1991).

Now, I'm just about to get into her fifth and last book, and very sorry that this must be the final chapter on the life of The Cazalets.

Her books are wonderfully descriptive, emotionally rewarding, amusing and very readable.

I don't know any of her other works but shall make sure to research them as soon as possible this year.

I must record my thanks to "LibertyLondonGirl's Daily Email" for news of Elizabeth Jane Howard's death in her "Appreciation of Elizabeth Jane Howard" of 2nd January 2014.
