The Thorn Birds totally holds up! I've read it three times, starting when I was a freshman in high school. Blew my young Catholic mind...both the content of the book and that my super religious parents owned and displayed it on the family book shelf!

LOVED Pachinko. Plus one on the Vanishing Half. A couple of recent one of these I liked was the Paper Palace. Hello Beautiful was also good and fits the bill.

Great minds, poster.

I also laud the poster who recommended Buddenbrooks - one of the best family sagas in world literature.

Hello Beautiful

Both were great stories tying together multiple generations.

Abraham Verghese's latest The Covenant of Water is a super long, multigenerational family saga.
