A very interesting love story mixed with Day-to-Day life stories and what the human willpower can do.
I really love the story though there were some topographical errors and it is voluminous; that apart it is very interesting and if it is yet to be on motion picture I hope it will in the near future ...I give this 4star

Love this book, have read it many times since first published. A good, old fashioned romance. have always thought someone should film it - or maybe the Ambitions saga would be best!

Good storyline but tediously repetitive and too descriptive in my opinion

I savoured this book! One of my favorites!
I read this about 15 years ago and didn't realize how much I had forgotten.
The description is so detailed and I enjoyed this book a lot. Not one to be read fast. Make it last and enjoy it!
