He broke into a steady trot.Every summer, the Cazalet brothers, Hugh, Edwardand Rupert, return to the family home in the heart of the Sussex countrysidewith their wives and children. There, they are joined by their parents andunmarried sister Rachel to enjoy two blissful months of picnics and childishgames.
