This novel is a classic. It is about four sisters who go through many hardships in their lives. There is love, war, and family involved in all of the things that happen to the four young women. The four sister go throught several life experiences. Unfortunately, they soon drift apart from each other to cope with the pains of what goes on within the family.

A must read book. There is so much to appreciate in the world, kind of like Thoreau.

Some people like this book but I dont.
