Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a novel in the great British and American literary traditions.  It is the life story of one man and his many encounters with other people.  It captivates the reader and compels one to keep reading.  Especially compelling is the story of one great love, Emmaline, their children and grandchildren.  The lesson of this tale is that all the storm and fury of life signify nothing.  It is a few deep love relationships that matter, not only for this life, but for all eternity.  This is an eminently satisfying book that stays with you and lingers in your memory.  I majored in English, and many of the novels I was required to read cannot hold a candle to this book.  It is destined to become a literary classic.
