Description

Review The Morland dynasty has weathered all the trials and tribulations of the last 400 years, but can it survive the 20th century and the “war to end all wars?” About the Author Cynthia Harrod-Eagles is the author of the contemporary Bill Slider Mystery series as well as the Morland Dynasty novels. Her passions are music, wine, horses, architecture and the English countryside.

Features & Highlights

  • In the Morland Dynasty series, the majestic sweep of English history is richly and movingly portrayed through the fictional lives of the Morland family. It is 1914, and the outbreak of war is greeted with euphoria. Thousands flock to volunteer. Everyone believes the war will be over by Christmas, so there’s no time to waste. Bertie, a reservist, is one of the first to go to France; Jack is invited to join the Royal Flying Corps, and Ned joins one of the new "Pals" units. The brutal reality of Ypres dispels illusion, but only fuels determination, as the war comes home to everyone, in ways they have not expected.

This is great historical fiction

Cynthia Harrod-Eagles has taken on a seemingly impossible task--creating a work of historical fiction based on one family starting in ancient Britain and concluding in the present day. Amazingly, she succeeds. The latest volume of the work is set during World War I. Obviously, Harrod-Eagles is most interested in this period of history since this is the second of her books to focus on the war. I remain enthralled with her novels. Great characters, wonderful plots, convincing life stories. I recognize that it is daunting to contemplate beginning a series that is now at book 28, but if you enjoy historical fiction, do yourself a favor and give this series a try.
