This 800 page book took forever to get into. But I plodded through to read it for book club! He is an excellent writer, but he just uses too many words. This book should have been broken down into at least three separate books, which was not only my opinion, but that of the pther three book club members. Stories that ranged from growing up in the south, abusive parents, to living in Rome to the Holocaust were all combined to make one sweeping saga of the McCall family.
