Another trip to the library yielded this splendid book.
It is a fictionalized history of the early settlers and the towns they built after coming to the "new world". This the third in a trilogy and Richter won the Pulitzer prize in 1951 for it. 'The Trees' and 'The Fields' are the other two books. I have not read those, but there was no loss of continuity. The story revolves around a daughter of the founder of a small town called Moonshine. Sayward and her many children and their future is intertwined with the growth of the town in this book.
The language is deep and nostalgic and if you live far from home or were interested in family tree sort of stuff like me then this will ring a bell. Go here for some info and here to browse more.

p.s - but I have to ask u, where do u find the time to read? I mean...work, kids, studies, family.....I dont get time to finish my daily stuff.
I USED to be a voracious reader but now I dont have the time:-(.
p.p.s - Harry Potter ofcourse is an exception:-D.
there was a time after coming that i thought i'd never read like i used to. - meaning keeping the window open to read from the light of the outside lamp after lights off time in the hostel kind- well we are trying to cut down TV for the kids and in the process the little we have it on is monopolized by you know who:-) so now when I have nothing much to do the TV time is spent instead on books esp as kids are not that little anymore...
i confess that i have not read any harry potter books...do you love it enough to get a hold of all the books in the series whenever you can?
Actually I started reading Harry Potter after the 3rd book came out. So I got to read 3 books in the sequence, in a row. I love them:-P.
I have all the 7 HP books. Used to re-read them once a year:-P. But after I started working, reading has become a luxury:-(.
I'd love to lend u my HP books:-D
I'm blogrolling u. Hope its ok:-)?
Thanks Nancy. I am honored:-)
Since you seem to like it I am going to give HP a try. Hope the library will have a copy for me.
