"I absolutely loved this series. Wish it could of been made into a TV series. Even though I read these books years ago, I can still remember the trials & tribulations this family went through." — Michael (5 out of 5 stars)
"I absolutely loved this series. Wish it could of been made into a TV series. Even though I read these books years ago, I can still remember the trials & tribulations this family went through."
" While I loved the first two books in his immigrants series, this one is rather slow and a little draggy. He gets away with it because his writing style is great but it's certainly not my favorite of the series. "
" Very good, as were the other two. "
" I had read the first book of this serise and didn't realize it unitl I was about 75 pages into the story. I didn't like the chachareters as well and didn't find a lot of history to walk away with. Lots of sentiment. "
" The third in the series of the Lavette family. "
" Still enthralled with this family! Loved this book almost as much as the first two... Ready for the last two books. "
Howard Fast (1914–2003) was one of the most prolific American writers of the twentieth century. He was a bestselling author of more than eighty works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenplays. The son of immigrants, he grew up in New York City and published his first novel upon finishing high school in 1933. In 1950, his refusal to provide the United States Congress with a list of possible Communist associates earned him a three-month prison sentence. During his incarceration, he wrote one of his best-known novels, Spartacus. Throughout his long career, he matched his commitment to championing social justice in his writing with a deft, lively storytelling style.
