Roses by Leila Meacham

Not so long ago, I finished reading Roses by Leila Meacham --- the first book of hers I have read. I guess that if the tale was from Iceland or Norway we would call it a saga. It’s a multi-generational story about inter-connected Texas families. I have read other books of its style, but this was one of the best. I rank it up there almost with Diane Pearson’s Csardas and The Tontine by Thomas Costain.  

If you like losing yourself in another world where nobody is all good or all bad and where are the occurrences of uncontrived surprises, you might like the book.
