In 1914, Britain faces a new kind of war. For Edward and Beatrice
Hunter, their children, servants and neighbours, life will never be
the same again. Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and Barbara
Taylor-Bradford. For David, the eldest, war means a chance to do
something noble; but enlisting will break his mother's heart. His
sister Diana, nineteen and beautiful, longs for marriage. She has
her heart set on Charles Wroughton, son of Earl Wroughton, but
Charles will never be allowed to marry a banker's daughter. Below
stairs, Cook and Ada, the head housemaid, grow more terrified of
German invasion with every newspaper atrocity story. Ethel, under
housemaid, can't help herself when it comes to men and now soldiers
add to the temptation; yet there's more to this flighty girl than
meets the eye. The once-tranquil village of Northcote reels under
an influx of khaki volunteers, wounded soldiers and Belgian
refugees. The war is becoming more dangerous and everyone must find
a way to adapt to this rapidly changing world. Goodbye Piccadilly
is the first book in the War at Home series by Cynthia
Harrod-Eagles, author of the much-loved Morland Dynasty novels. Set
against the real events of 1914, Goodbye Piccadilly is
extraordinary in scope and imagination and is a compelling
introduction to the Hunter family.
