5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of best historical novels I have read in a LONG, March 10, 1999

This review is from: This Family of Women (Charnwood Large Print Series) (Hardcover)

This novel which spans 100 years (ca. 1840 to 1940)was a hard book for this occasional reader to put down! Besides an amazing story, you get the ambiance of each period in history that the characters live through. An excellent read!
