Customer Reviews

One of the Best Books Ever

I read this book many years ago. Since then, I have re-read it many times, usually once a year. This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is not only a great love story, but a great story about family and friends and the history of early California. Every time I read it, I can't put it down until I am finished. As you can see 99.9% of the people gave it 5 stars. I would give it 10. If you have not read this book, you need to. You'll never forget it.

the broud breed

I read this book many times along time ago... This book has always stuck out in my mind. The story is so beautiful and makes you feel good after reading. I lent this book to a friend and never got it back, I've looked for it in bookstores and still couldn't find it.. I'm happy to know other people feel the same way I do about this book it's a book that you want to read again and again and again!!!It's like the movie "GIANT" its a wonderful story about family and what makes it so wonderful that it keeps going and you don't want it to end.......

A must read for any woman!

I read the other reviews of this book, and I have to agree with every wonderful thing that has been said! My mother also gave me this book to read when I was about 14 years old, and I read it once a year for a long time. My book was lost when I moved one time and I have been looking for a copy ever since. It has been at least 4 years since I have read it and I can still tell you everything in the book, most of it word for word. I tell everybody who will listen what a great book it is and that it is a must read for any woman.

Only book I ever read that make me cry at the end.

Read it and cried at the end. Re-read it a few years later in paperback and cried again. The book is gone now (no idea where) and I morn it. I am surprised it never became a movie or mini-series, butI am not sure anything would do it justice. For two people, Gavin and Tess, to love so strongly, yet hurt one another, only a love such as theirs could survive to the complete and bitter end. I brag about this book to anyone I know who enjoys history and romance. If I can ever find another copy, I will bronze it..but only after I have read it again and again. But, then again....maybe I'll just find a peaceful rainy afternoon, and sit back and enjoy a love so true. Please get this book out of the archives and release it again!!!!!!
