| Sins of the Fathers by Susan Howatch - 27 Dec 2007 |
| Wonderful follow-up to "Rich are Different"!!, September 2, 2007 - © Amazon.com
Review by By Kate's Mom (Boulder, CO) This book was my second novel by Susan Howatch. I read (or rather listened to an audio version) of "The Rich are Different" and was astounded. As soon as I found out there was a sequel, I immediately dove in. Be sure to read "Rich" first. Both books are told with six narrators each. Howatch handles this with a deft skill that always moves the plot forward, but also leaves me amazed with her power to inhabit and sympathize with what you think are second-tier characters. As with any novel, you develop feelings for characters as you go along, based on the information you are presented with. But often Howatch turns the tables and makes one of these characters the narrator. The reader suddenly not only understands previous events better, but is able to sympathize with these characters. There are no "hokey" surprise twists, just a richer story. Howatch tackles some very dark/difficult themes - adultery, murder, blackmail, impotence, alcoholism, chronic illness, perversion, revenge - with the stunning ability to focus on the humanity and foibles that drive and derive from these. A current parallel might be "The Sopranos." I enjoy classic literature as well as NYT bestseller type of fiction. And although Howatch seems to be available mostly as mass market paperback (tends to put me off), her writing is agile yet literary, and her ability to hold a mirror to humanity speaks of a tremendous talent.
