Fawcett, 1982. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. Without the frame or the focus that loosely held Centennial together, this massive but arbitrarily fragmented East-Coast community history - a Maryland island, 1583-1978 - is almost devoid of traditional novelistic pleasure. The hundred or so characters are firmly presented as types (e.g., "Bartley Paxmore, at thirty-one, was the new-style Quaker"), most of them members of three representative families: the Catholic, landowning, upper-class progen... more information

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987. Hardcover. Very Good. From Publishers Weekly As one might expect, this final volume in Jake's North and South trilogy makes splendid reading. Dealing with Reconstruction as the earlier volumes dealt, respectively, with pre-Civil War rumblings and the war itself, this novel resumes the saga of the Hazards of Pennsylvania and the Mains of South Carolina, both families now sadly depleted and bound together as much by hate as love. The Union has triumphed but there's n... more information
