Description
Edwin Lutyens receives a letter from Sir Julius Drewe for the commission of Castle Drogo on Dartmoor. The renowned architect's design reflects Britain's state of flux in 1910, blending past and present. His daughter Celia becomes infatuated with Adrian, who is staying at a farm next to the castle site. A fire breaks out that evening, and Adrian rescues a trapped farmer, sparking Celia's fascination with him. The novel follows the characters as they navigate the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Christian Drewe returns from Austria, while Adrian enlists, driven by his sense of duty. As the war rages on, faith and love are tested, and relationships are shattered. This novel is a poignant portrayal of a lost generation, focusing on the characters' relationships until they are torn apart. It is a coming-of-age tale that also serves as a social commentary on the tragedy of a needless war.
