Great big American novel (400 pages) of a family in crisis during the 50s and 60s and a wonderful account of life, history and ideals, of corruption, loss, love and murder. A novel of tremendous sweep, wordy but satisfying. She is one of America’s most respected literary flyers. It is quite a book.
Comparison: Barbara Kingsolver, Tom Wolfe, John Updike.
