About the author
Naomi Jacob
101 books4 followersNaomi Eleanor Clare Jacob was an English author, actress and broadcaster. Daughter of Nina Abbott.
The British lesbian author Naomi Jacob (1889-1964) had been a teacher, a suffragette, a playwright and an actress, but ultimately achieved her greatest success, beginning in the mid-1920s, as author of some 75 popular novels, plus women's magazine series, advice books and at least one biography. She moved to Italy (where a significant portion of this book is set) in 1930, and at one time reportedly had an unrequited crush on Una Troubridge, longtime companion of Radclyffe Hall. (In Diana Souhami's biography of Hall, Ms. Jacob is described thusly: "She was Jewish, large, wore tweeds and clubbish ties and liked a drink.") She is remembered today best as -- well, actually, she's barely remembered at all.

End it must.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this epic story of The Gollantz Family Saga. I have hated to come to the end. It has been filled with so much life. It shows how much of life repeats itself.
And, how important and strong are the ties of “family”!

Wonderful Saga
Loved these gentle books with their love stories and appreciation of beauty. Rarely for me, I would enjoy reading them again.

I liked this book. It is simple it terms of language and story. The style is smooth and makes the reader go deeper into the text. So, the novel is really worthy and simple but still quite interesting...
