This book was recommended to me by a good friend. It's her favorite. I was blown away. The writing is fantastic. The whole mood of the book is one that overtook me. It reminded me of The Thornbirds because it's a sweeping saga of a woman's life of struggle. The narrator is writing the story of his grandmother's life. At times I became impatient when the story turned to his own life but in the end it was his life that struck me most. Read this book! (Pulitzer Prize winner, too!).
