Elizabeth Darrell's trilogy of The Sheridans, which comprises At the Going Down of the Sun, And in the Morning, and We Will Remember Them. It's good, but godawfully long and wordy. It takes a British country family of means through both World Wars and into the aftermath of WWII. I think it could have been pared down into two volumes, but that's me. She reiterates a LOT, and every time I think I'm close to the end, it's like the Energizer Bunny--it just keeps going, and going, and going. Still, it's good and well-written and has kept my interest--but I think I might finally be ready to read War and Peace after this!
