very goodI could not wait to read this, knowing that several characters, including Teddy, the head of the Morland family, planned to sail on the Titanic, and I was not disappointed. My interest was gripped from the very beginning. Additional plot lines include the early days of air flight; the continuing struggle for women's suffrage, as well as some of the everyday problems of life. As always, I recommend beginning this series with the first book, to understand just how all the characters are related.
Only undertake this if you want a lifetime project. This title is the 27th(!) in the series that goes back to Charles I and the English Civil War and according to the book jacket intends to go forward to the present day.

I don't know when I was last as abosorbed in a book as I was with this one during the Titanic section! (Might have partly been because the movie was on HBO when I was reading this. Every time hubby turned on the TV, there it was, sinking again.)
I loved this book. I know it's part of a huge series but a GR friend told me I could jump in here and I wouldn't feel lost and she was right. There were one or two things I did wonder about but it didn't take from the story at all. There's a huge cast of characters and at times I was a little confused but there's a great family tree at the beginning of the book that I used to keep up.The story of the Morland family themselves is intriguing and diverse. The characters are all very different and
