The book a sweeping story full of heart, that follows the Stanhope family's journey from Scotland to America. It's a stirring tale about ambition, love, and resilience. It spans generations and the story follows Harold Stanhope’s rise from poor beginnings to building a dynasty. The characters are vivid and provide emotional depth. Davis expertly blends a historical setting with fictional storytelling, encapsulating the essence of family ties and personal wins against adverse challenges. The prose is engaging enough, but the pacing does slow somewhat in detailed backstories - it didn't stop me enjoying the book. A good read for people who enjoy sprawling multigenerational sagas - think legacy and sacrifice. Using real locations and realistic timeline added authenticity, making it relevent for historical fiction fans.
