The Years
"From 1880 to the present one follows the fortunes and misfortunes of the family, with its many ramifications, and at the close no one character has taken on substance and reality. And yet, for sheer magic of handling the English language, the book is a joy to read, there is a crystal, fragile beauty, lacking substance, lacking shadows -- or perhaps it is the shadow we see. She has succeeded admirably in her purpose, -- the tracing of a pattern of life impinging on consciousness, and avoiding action and plot and situations." -Kirkus Reviews, on The Years
