The Treaty of Versailles left an aftermath of bitter hatred. The fatherless children of the Great War, so vividly depicted in this superb finale to a trilogy, grow up in an age of doubt- the years spanning the end of the glittenng jazz age and the beginning of the 30s.
This is the story of the aristocratic and racy Stanmores of Abingdon, of their formative years - characterised by love, youthful optimism and the pursuit of future happiness. But this happiness is denied them by a past which is never quite forgotten...

Review:
A Future Arrived is a wonderfully old-fashioned book. . . full of characters who value honor, nobility, courage and commitment . . . refreshing.” (Los Angeles Times)
From the Back Cover:

The final installment of the saga of the Grevilles of Abingdon Pryory begins in the early 1930s, as the dizzy gaiety of the Jazz Age comes to a shattering end. What follows is a decade of change and uncertainty, as the younger generation, born during or just after the "war to end all wars," comes of age.

American writer Martin Rilke has made his journalistic mark, earning worldwide fame with his radio broadcasts, and young Albert Thaxton seeks to follow in his footsteps as a foreign correspondent. Derek Ramsey, born only weeks after his father fell in France, and Colin Ross, a dashing Yankee, leave their schoolboy days behind and enter fighter pilot training as young men. The beautiful Wood-Lacy twins, Jennifer and Victoria, and their passionate younger sister, Kate, strive to forge independent paths, while learning to love—and to let go.

In their heady youth and bittersweet growth to adulthood, they are the future—but the shadows that touched the lives of the generation before are destined to reach out to their own.
