Description

Weaving the prospects of the patriarchal Adam Swann and his family into the pageantry of English history in the decades following Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee of 1897, this significant historical book requires Swann's four kids and child into the risky reaches of government and business and the military. The rumble of the guns of August 1914 signs the finish of the planet because they, as this newer generation of Swanns aims to wed individual desires to national ideals and imperial England have recognized it.
