I'm not quite done reading this book, but thought I'd register it while I was here. I'm two-thirds of the way through, and so far the book is very good! The characters are so realistic, I can't wait to keep reading to see what will happen to them next!

The review exerpt on the cover (from Harper's) says it better than I: "A sumptuous saga - war and peace, birth and death, wealth and squalor, marriage and divorce, religion, insanity and more..."
