'The end of the old world' people said about the long hot summer of
1914. It was the last season of optimism, of certainty about the
future as the sun set on the Edwardian age. That summer Aunt Tilly
comes to stay with her brother the Rector and his four lively
daughters in the sleepy Sussex village of Ashden. Aunt Tilly's visit
sparks off a chain of events which threatens to split Ashden apart, in
which Agnes Pilbeam, the Rectory palourmaid, and her sweetheart Jamie
find themselves bewilderingly caught up.
Then in August the lamps go out all over Europe and war bursts open
the straitjacket of rural village life. The war will bring tragedy,
change and love as private torments and struggles are subjected to the
greater need. The challenge will prove too much for some and the
making of others.
