Product Description
Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the town's founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their choice and the loss of what might have been--not just for themselves but for their children, and children's children. With expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of passion for work and longing for love.

 Roses, a fun bouquet! March 10, 2010
Chanticleer (Arlington, Virginia)
This book returns me to the days of waiting to read Rosamunde Pilcher"s latest new book. A friend reommended it to me, saying that she just could not put it down and hated it to end. I am finding that I feel the same way.
Great book, a lttle disappointed with the ending (no spoiler) March 6, 2010
Pushing 60 (Maryland)
This was the second book I read on my Kindle and it was perfect for the plane trip and several days afterward. It became a real "screen" turner early on but then things appeared to get bogged down with a re-telling of the same story. I recommend it but not with the unbriddled enthusiasm of some of my friends. Great beach read for the summer!
Wow! Finally a novel you can't put down! March 4, 2010
Riney Jordan (Texas)
I bought "Roses" for my wife as part of her Valentine's gift. She is an avid reader, and quite the critic...and her comment... "I LOVE this book!!! I can't put it down!" A friend of mine purchased it on audio, and said she listens to it while she jogs in the morning. "I was so engrossed in the book," she said, "that I ran past my house!" Finally...an epic novel worthy of the money we spend on them.
