Explanation Concering Books At the Going Down of the Sun (Sheridans #1)

The summer of 1914.

The Sheridan brothers pursue the pastimes of the rich and talented in the idyllic village of Tarrant Royal, unaware of the coming war that will test their courage and family loyalty to the limit.

Roland, an aspiring surgeon, believes his duty lies in remaining as squire of his Dorset village. But charges of cowardice force him into a conflict his conscience cannot condone.

Rex, a womanizer and daredevil aviator, dons the RFC uniform. As time passes and he becomes an ace over the skies of France he knows that one day soon his luck must run out.

Chris, a brilliant scholar about to enter university, is driven to enlist by a scandal which shatters his golden future. Hopelessly unfitted for battle, he faces the carnage of Gallipoli not caring whether he lives or dies.

In Elizabeth Darrell's richly detailed, mesmeric novel the Sheridans live, love and fight for survival like the sons of all families caught up in a savage war which changed the old ways forever.

Column About Books At the Going Down of the Sun (Sheridans #1)

At the Going Down of the Sun follows the fortunes of three brothers through the years of World War I. I might have been more invested in the story had I found any of the characters at all likable, but I despised all three of the brothers as well as most of the people surrounding them and thus just didn't care the slightest bit about any of these people. In addition, this was just too longwinded IMO.

This is a really good book, the charecters were well developed and once I got into it I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read the second book in the series.

A wonderful account of the lives of three brothers during the Great War and the tragedy affecting their loved ones. I finished reading this book with a tear in my eye

A really good storyIt's a nice start to the trilogy. I chose this series as it's the period of history I like. If you like following a family, with a good few twists and turns in the story then this is for you.

The begining felt a bit "slow". Once it starts to develop, you just wish it would stop! Very moving and a very good portrait of WWI.



This is an epic tale of three brothers from the idyllic, pre-war summer of 1914 to the end of the First World War. Personally I found the whole thing rather too long. That War was terrible, no doubt about it and Elizabeth Darrell writes at length about the effect of trench warfare, gas, the infant Royal Flying Corps and the Medical Corps through the eyes of these brothers. She also deals at length with the mental tragedies of the war. It is a fascinating look into this period of history but for
