A historical novel combining fact and fiction spanning four and a half centuries about our richest, most expansive and most diversified state - Texas.
Spanning four centuries that encompass the formation of several great dynasties, an epic saga chronicles the development of the fortune-seeking Rusks, the wheeler-dealer Quimpers, the cotton empire of the Cobbs, and clan of the Garzas.
I don't like Michener's work, but felt this would be a good read as I traveled through Texas. As usual, the length of the novel cannot hide its lack of depth. A real slog.
I love all James A. Michener's books and this is no exception. Great read.
