The MacKenzies & McBrides series by Jennifer Ashley.
The Cynster series by Stephanie Laurens (I think this is on the third generation now). |

Jane Smiley's books-Some Luck, Early Warning and Golden Age.
It's a trilogy spanning 100 years of a family. Truly is a mulitgenerational family saga. |

already mentioned; one more vote --
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee Commonwealth by Ann Patchett others not yet mentioned -- The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan The Family Chao by Lan Samantha Chang (only two generations, so maybe not a saga, but a great story about family -- and food) The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri |

| I writer I like (who sadly died a few years ago), Robb Foreman Dew, wrote a trilogy about an Ohio family that spans most of the twentieth century: 'The Evidence Against Her, 'The Truth of the Matter', and 'Being Polite to Hitler'. Very character driven if sometimes a bit plodding. But very well written. |
