Anthony Powell's brilliant twelve-novel sequence chronicles the lives of over three hundred characters and is a unique evocation of life in twentieth-century England. It is unrivalled for its scope, its humour and the enormous pleasure it has given to generations.
In 'Autumn', containing books 7 to 9 of the sequence, Powell follows Nicholas Jenkins and a host of familiar and newer characters through the strains, absurdities and preoccupations of England at war.
