description: The Saga of The Immigrants continues. In Second Generation, the central figure is Barbara Levette, the beautiful daughter of Dan, the young Italian who lost his parents but launched a stormy and brilliant career as a result of the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, and his aristocratic first wife, Jean. Troubled by the conflicts of her dual inheritance and scornful of her mother's social world, Barbara sets out to build her own life in her own way-a way that leads her to a Europe on the brink of Nazi terror, to love and tragedy, to the farthest reaches of a global war, and ultimately to a deeper understanding of herself.
