Review: Too much true life?
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 4, 2013
Too much true life--the juvenile foster care system, juvenile detention, physical abuse, treachery in love, scheming, hateful relatives.  The final outcome was more happy than not but it was a long book to plow through for a hero who was all kinds of confused and dishonorable, and some heroines who had such wacked lives you wondered how they were still standing.  The word saga in the title is very true--it's quite the story over many, many years. The word love in the title is questionable--not much of that in this story.  Reminds me of the Francette Phal trilogy--a lot of drama and not so happy endings.
