If you enjoy family sagas, this is one for you. It tells the story of the Freeman family, their loves, hopes, fears and disappointments from the aftermath of World War II until the present day. If you watched the recent serialisation on TV, it's not only intriguing to discover some of the omissions and gaps but also to realise how brilliantly cast it was and how faithfully, in the main, it kept to the book.
