BASED on the best-selling novels by Elizabeth Jane Howard, The Cazalets follows a privileged family whose lives are transformed by the outbreak of World War Two. As storm clouds gather over Europe, the family’s three generations retreat to their country estate where the trials and tribulations of life play out against the backdrop of war.
