Title: A family saga/romance novel, and so much more!
Product review: Just finished [[ASIN:B004C0566W Green Grow the Rushes]. After a somewhat slow start, due to introducing the large and varied cast of characters and giving a basic idea of the personalities of each, this novel took off like a shot.More than just a family saga/romance, this book deals with the changes that the different characters make in response to changes in the times around them, and to changes in their individual circumstances. It also gives an interesting perspective on the very early days of the women's suffragette and trade union movements, and the beginning of the breakdown of the stiff and unyielding "class system," all set in the early years of the twentieth century in Scotland.As in real life, there's tragedy in this novel, but also triumph; grave errors, but also redemption. Best of all, it's a very good read. Highly recommended.
