The Dancing Years: The Morland Dynasty, Book 33 Book

1919. As the euphoria of the Armistice fades the nation counts the cost: millions dead or disabled unemployment strikes and shortages. As prices and taxes rise it becomes harder to remember what the war was for. Teddy tries to recreate balance but then a trip to France to see the place where Ned fell has unforeseen consequences; Polly grieving for Erich Kuppel persuades her father to send her to New York. Despite Prohibtion the great city pulsing with life promises her a fresh start; Jessie and Bertie detained in London by Bertie's job long to start their new life together; Jack becomes a pioneer of civil aviation but when the company fails he's faced with unemployment with a growing family to support. The generation that saw things no man should see must find relief from their own memories. A new world is struggling to be born out of the ashes; but as long as the music lasts they will keep on dancing.
