The Cazalets

Penelope Wilton narrates BBC Radio 4's dramatization of Elizabeth Jane Howard's beloved Cazalet family saga, which spans five novels. Beginning in 1938, siblings Hugh, Edward, Rupert, and Rachel gather at their Sussex home for a family holiday, setting the stage for the exploration of their lives and those of their children across three generations during the Second World War and beyond. Adapted by Sarah Daniels and Lin Coghlan, this ambitious radio production features a large cast and brings a fresh perspective to Howard's rich storytelling, which has captivated readers for decades.
