I love this book! I totally reccomend it to anyone looking for a family saga that starts just after the Civil War and spans to just after Prohibition. Locations in Charleston, London, France, and New York.

Since I haven't read it in years, I can't remember names, but I do know that once you start it you won't be able to put it down.

It follows a woman from birth to her thirties.

It would take too long to give a synopsis, all I can say is if you like Historical Fiction, set in that time frame, you would love this book!

I only wish that it was both available in e-book format and the audiobook isn't abridged. ( )

An easy read that takes you from Charleston to Paris, London and NYC in the roaring 20s. ( )

I have discovered Alexandra Ripley and look forward to reading more books by her. This is a cleverly woven story about life in Charleston and New York but also other parts of the world and woven around events in history. I recommend this book. I feel it is very well written with wonderful descriptions. ( )
