I read it first back in the early 1980's, and just this past spring and summer read it for the second time. Michener writes long novels but they are well worth the time!”

“I read this book many years ago before I lived in Virginia. Decided to re-read it and it's so much richer for me now.”

“One of my favorite Michener books. Loved the characters especially. Really helped me "get" the whole draining of the eastern 1/3 of US.”

“I thought this was really good, but the end of it not as interesting as the beginning. There was one section I thought diverted from the book and found it out of place, the story of the geese, otherwise, I enjoy Michener's writing and knowledge of what he writes.”

“Very interesting historical novel....probably even more enjoyable for people familiar with the area. I enjoyed it, but there were several times when the story seemed to drag a bit. I also found that since Michener touched on so many generations, he seemed to spread himself too thin. Never allowing the reader to become emotionally involved with any of the character's lives. I would suggest keeping track of the 'family tree' as you read...it helps to keep the past clear if you know which Steed, Paxmore or Turlock you're reading about!”
