There was so much going on, but I did love it! I was going to name my baby Dane after one of the characters but then I found out I’m having a girl.
I think you did a good job of reviewing it.

In fact, I had such a great “gripping read” experience with it, that I purchased the miniseries right away. It’s funny how challenging to your ideas (and ideals) about human relationships this book can be, when in reality, it really is about the boundaries WE set up between ourselves and others. Such a great read! Glad you reviewed it to remind me of a past favorite!

After your review, I will be moving it up in the pile. I, too, love family sagas, so this book sounds right up my alley. Thanks for the great review!

I was reading about past productions of ‘Hamlet’ and remembering the first ever production I saw where the Hamlet was Richard Chamberlain. I didn’t see the TV version, but I’ve always thought I ought to get round to the book. I didn’t realize that the author had written Roman books as well. I must definitely look out for those.

When she was about 150 pages from the end, it was one of those nights when we were being really demanding and she got us dinner (or told us we were on our own, there were leftovers) and told us not to bother her; she was going to her room to finish the book, and she pointedly told my sister and I that, as we were such voracious readers ourselves, she knew we understood how important it was to her to not be disturbed till she was done. And she disappeared for an hour or so. I’d never seen her do that before, and she never did it again.

Probably because I was very preoccupied with exams and life generally.

Must give this book another read sometime. I think I will like this better the second time around
