Reviews
On Jun 12 2020, a reader said:
A unipersonal saga covering several decades of the central character. The complexity of the plot is handled without error; the characters are clearly described; the reader is involved from the beggining, unputdownable! Only one terrible flaw: the author could not resist the temptation of giving the novel a happy end. Apparently, hollywood still dominates American culture. The plot and its masterful development does not admit a happy end. So sorry!
