[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a big fan of The Dutch House by Ann Patchett.[/quote] A good multigenerational story but I wouldn’t call it an epic. If we’re going with this “scale”, then Cutting For Stone is amazing. Nonfiction that reads like fiction: Random Family covers a pretty wide stretch of time, and a lot of changes for the “characters”. People of the Book follows an object through multiple periods of history. [/quote] Oh, I LOVE Random Family! I always recommend it to book clubs, and most of my friends don't like it nearly as much as I do. I wish she'd written more books. OP, I thought of A Little Life, The Goldfinch (lots of people don't like this book, but I did), and if you want some sweetness, Little Women. [/quote]
