description: Theirs Was the Kingdom is Delderfield's magisterial sequel to God Is an Englishman . The saga of the Swann family continues through the years leading up to Queen Victoria's jubilee. Again, Adam Swann is the central character, but the focus frequently switches to his devoted wife, Henrietta, and to the adventures—mostly amorous—of their brood of children. Alex becomes a career soldier. Stella marries into the landed gentry, and the aesthetic Giles improbably falls in love with a madcap heiress, while George, in the face of his father's overt skepticism, develops the first motorpowered transport vehicle. "Rich and rewarding...has the spirit of the time." (Best Sellers)
