Description
Weatherley Parade is a sprawling saga that spans over three decades, from 1902 to 1940. It follows the lives and loves of the Weatherley family as they navigate the challenges of war, social change, and personal struggle.
The story begins with Arthur Weatherley's return home after the Boer War, and continues through the tumultuous years of Edwardian England, the First World War, and the rise of Nazi Germany. Along the way, the Weatherleys face infidelity, alcoholism, and scandal, as well as births, deaths, triumphs, and tragedies.
This multi-generational tale is full of charm and character, with a cast of children and eccentrics that will appeal to readers looking for a rich and immersive period piece.
