An elegiac, sweeping chronicle of English domestic life across three decades, tracing one family's joys and sorrows through the defining historical upheavals of the era.

A cavalcade of English life from New Year's Eve 1899 until 1933 is seen through the eyes of well-to-do Londoners Jane and Robert Marryot. Amongst events touching their family are the Boer War, the death of Queen Victoria, the sinking of the Titanic, and the Great War.
