Casting Off
Wonderful escapism, an inspiring saga of a close knit family before during and after the war. I felt I was part of it all and felt quite lost when I’d finished!

Wonderful
Superb writing and narration. From the start of this, the fourth book in the series, I am completely drawn into the lives of the family, extended family and friends. Not only this but the historical references give a full picture of life in the late 1940’s.
I am looking forward to the last book, but already scared to finish it!

Sad the book is ended
I have been totally transfixed with this series of books and I am sad they have ended. I enjoyed the wonderful rich characters and the narrator brought the stories gloriously to life. How I will fill the gap I don’t know at this stage.

Exquisite
Quite possibly one of my favourite books, and told so beautifully by Jill Balcon. A warm, engaging, unpredictable family saga with great insight into human nature and relationships.

Superb characters and read aloud flawlessly.
Jill Balcon is fantastic and the writing is so seemingly effortlessly brilliant and resonates so well.

Brilliant story, but hard at times to hear
The story was wonderful, as all the Cazalet Chronicles are. But beware the poor quality of the recording. Any chance, audible, you could rectify this?

Simply in awe of the writing and telling
Each character is pealed back gently and with such sensitivity and love. A myriad of inner lives told to absorb the reader. I will miss them all

Fantastic book
I have know completed all five books in this series. I hardly ever give five stars but these books totally deserve it.
I didn't want any of them to end. I feel like the characters are real people that I know. I can't put my finger on what makes them so brilliant unfortunately, as I wish I could write stories like these. I loved the innocence of the children and the time. I couldn't wait to go to bed to be able to listen to them. I completely and utterly lost myself in every one of the books. It's interesting as such things as morals and thoughts on life are as relevant hundred years of so ago as they are today.
I would totally recommend all five of these books. I cannot sing their praises enough.
The narration was absolutely fantastic with lots of different voices to have to change into. I did read that the narrator was a friend of the writer. Excellent work well done, I wish I spoke as beautifully as you do.
You must must listen to these books.
