DECEMBER 1919. Tom Allen, uncomfortable in London after five years in uniform, receives an invitation to spend Christmas at Hannesford Court. It's almost as if nothing has changed. Cards in the library after dinner. The Boxing Day shoot. The New Year ball. Margot. But Tom hasn't forgotten the professor. A strange meeting in Germany has raised a question in his mind: in all his visits to Hannesford before the War, all those years observing the glittering life of its owners, how much did he ever really see?

The Year After is a very well written, evocative historical novel about a big house, a family and their friends. Through Tom, and other characters such as the beautiful young woman, Margot Stansbury, and Anne Gregory, Davies explores some of the uncertainties and confusions facing the English upper and middle classes just after the war.
I enjoyed reading this novel, a mixture of historical mystery, big house story and a bit of romance – it was a great read by a new to me author, whose other novels I hope to read soon.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through the Waterstones Cardholder scheme. ( )
