Review title: It was compelling, sad I thought, but then found hope
Product review: It is a great novel, with a melancholy tone, but so beautiful. It has breadth of time and space in the family story and American story. I was surprised and saddened by the way things played out with Susan and her family, but found a little hope for Lyman Ward's future in his exploration of that story.
