"Great Family Saga!" according to joyce1. This family saga was very enjoyable following Swedish immigrant Kiri leaving her country and family. The plot takes many twists and turns and easily draws one in on every page. I highly recommend this wonderful novel for a nice easy-going story in the same genre of Belva Plain novels. Enjoy!
