"A monumental achievement.....a sweeping
saga covering decades and continents, from the
Civil War to the Twentieth Century, from the
Deep South to French Society to Far Asia....a
remarkable book for the realness of its
characters...well-developed, believable, three-
dimensional people...this reality in no way
diminishes the romance and magic......"
