Absolutely my favourite of all Susan Howatch's novels. Interestingly, it took me about five tries before I could get past the first 100 pages but once I got there I was beside myself and surrounded by a whole host of intriguing, engaging, frustrating and deeply flawed characters. I have read this book a few times now and it never gets old.
