"Read as part of a series. Enjoyed this family saga. "
“Grippingly readable.”
“Susan Howatch has surpassed herself. This is a mighty book.”
“One of the most original novelists writing today.”
“[Wanda McCaddon] captures the essence of the six first-person narratives comprising the story, to the point of making recognizable each character’s voice as related by the others. ”
" I enjoyed this series very much. "
" Mostly, the rich are just much more appealing and self-entitled. But in some books, they're easier to love, too. "
" Great author.........these epic stories are her early writing. Her later work is on the Anglica Church "
" Very good story, I hated Cornelius. "
" I read this one first at some point in the eighties and then carried it to our mountain cabin where later I re-read it. When we sold the cabin twenty years later this was one of the books which were donated to charity. I recall it being just okay and not much else. "
