Finally finished this epic trilogy weaving the lives of both fictional and historical figures using conventional and experimental narrative techniques. It would certainly be a candidate for the great American novel, particularly in the way that it captures a period of change and people of different classes, but it focuses solely on the lives of white people. I did enjoy reading it, but it was SO long.

KellyHunsakerReads This is one of my top 5 favorite books ever. Some hate it but I find it beautifully resonant, deeply human. 7y
