"What can I say - it is Belva Plain - about real life - could be your life or mine. I really wish she wasn't so nonchalant about extramarital affairs. She is so 'I just want to be happy - that is what is important - and I am not hurting anyone."" — Cheryl (5 out of 5 stars)

" This book starts out in the roaring twenties and ends at the end of World War II and is told from the viewpoint of an American Jewish banker. It is interesting to see events in American history from a Jewish perspective. "
" Another good book from Belva Plain but not my favorite. She again does a good job of creating shades of gray in the characters but the main story wasn't as compelling as in The Golden Cup "
" Tapestry is a nice family saga set between the two World Wars. Yes, it is predictable, but makes a good book to read for leisure. I was ready for just such a read. "
" The saga of the Werner family continues in this novel set during World War II. Belva Plain is a master storyteller whose characters are long remembered. "

" This was a good book; I enjoyed it. It's set in time period just following WWI and including WWII - a period in history that I find interesting. "
" This was an interesting tale of the Jewish plight during Hitler's reign from the point of view of a Jewish family in America. It was more than that, though. It was a very good tale of a family with their own personal secrets and dramas. "
" Part of the Werner saga that began with Evergreen. "
