INCREDIBLE!!!

I admit that when I first heard about this book, and the way it's played out, I was skeptical. I figured it would be too complex and too boring to bother with. But, being the fan of Historical Fiction that I am, I read it anyway. I'm currently reading it a 3rd time. I LOVE IT!

Fascinating historical tour with a unique story approach

A thoroughly entertaining and enlightening perspective on the evolution of our social and personal environment --- famliy, government, sex, religion... Much in the vein of Michener, but with a unique storytelling approach. The book follows the history a family (that is, the same INDIVIDUALS) as they are placed episodically in ten "golden ages". It's chocked full of interesting insights into the times of each age, while at the same time developing a set of consistent personalized characters that the reader can embrace. Looking forward to the next of the series
