About this listen

 This is a love story of great beauty and great tenderness, the kind of love story that entangles the listener in the lives of the characters, so that after the story is over, one continues to live with those characters. And fortunately, the listener will not have to say farewell to these characters. The Immigrants is complete in itself, an absorbing novel of high adventure, romance, joy and tragedy. But it is also the first in a series that will tell the story of three Californian families over the course of the 20th century.©1982 Howard Fast (P)2008 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

A joy to feel a part of this heartwarming depiction of the early 20th century history of San Francisco and the people whose drive and ambition caused it to rise up out of the ashes of the 1906 earthquake and on into the Great Depression of 1929 and it’s early aftermath. LGK

Has The Immigrants put you off other books in this genre?

The problem is not with the genre. It is with this particular example of it.

ANYONE who could put some life and animation into it
