The Years is the story of three generations of the Pargiter family their intimacies and estrangements, anxieties and triumphs mapped out against the bustling rhythms of London's streets during the first decades of the twentieth century. Growing up in a typically Victorian household, the Pargiter children must learn to find their footing in an alternative world, where the rules of etiquette have shifted from the drawingroom to the airraid shelter.
