Inhaltsangabe

The family saga threads onward

England is changing

A new king takes the throne

Denisthorn Hall is rocked by a number of momentous changes that take place over the turn of the century. The nineteen-hundreds promise to be eventful not only for the country, with a royal funeral to take place and a coronation to plan, but also for Lord Croukerne and his family. His daughters continue to present him with deeply contrasting developments. His wife's health regresses. His household is disturbed by event after event. Even the servants' private lives pose problems that must be handled sensitively. Then the earl must consider his own health; will he ever be energetic and mobile enough to run Denisthorn Hall in a fitting manner?

Pledges of Loyalty delves into the deepest, most secret feelings of the Croukernes. Selfishness, disloyalty, fear and loneliness affect them all, and also their servants. Incidents and accidents never fail to plague them. Who can come out of it unscathed?
