I remember hearing about this book (or was it the miniseries?) when I was a kid, so when I was looking through the stacks of used books while on vacation in Maine, I couldn't pass it up. Especially when the binding was worn white from the sun and it had that nice worn-in feel. Anyway, to the actual contents. I really liked this book. It has been a long time since I read any sort of saga. A lot of time passes during the book and, as one reviewer comments, everything, simply everything, happens. I was a little sad when I finished last night. I think I miss the characters!
Excellent summer reading.

tiek daug veikėjų, o tik trys iš tiesų patiko. tik trys įdomūs, tarp jų frenkas, kuriuo atsikrato pačioje pradžioje. tada tenka skaityti apie prasidedantį romaną tarp kunigo ir mergaitės, baisu. galiu suprasti, kad jie visą savo gyvenimą vienas kitą mylėjo ir jis atseit nėra pedofilas, bet kaip aš po lolitos galiu kitaip šitai priimti. kaip pažiūrėsi jie man nepatiko su savo meile seile. toliau prieiname prie luko ir sužinome, jog egzistuoja prezervatyvai. tai reiškia, kad pedis tiesiog sadistas ir fionai taip kentėti tikrai nereikėjo. megė nuvylia, nes pratęsia kartų traumą su džastinos engimu, negalima atleisti jai šito, kai pati buvo prisiekusi, kad mylės savo visus vaikus, nors denis yra dėl nieko visų iškeliamas. teisybė džastinai. galiausiai vienintelis atokvėpis, kad ji laimingai išteka. apibendrinant, knyga kaip savižudybės amerikietiškas kalnelis, bet su gera pabaiga
Absolutely stunning novel — following generations of a family — the characters draw you in and make you want to follow their lives — this is one of the best books I’ve read in my life - I enjoyed it just as much 28 years later as a re read . Highly recommend.
Beautiful vistas and totally engaging. However, I did get mired down in some of the especially "romancey" parts. That being said, I couldn't put it down and am glad to be done so I can sleep again. Only three stars because I guess I wanted it to say more, but maybe I just expected too much. It is a beautifully written romance novel, certainly exceptional for the genre, just not quite as ... something ... as I wanted it to be.
