i fancy a big 'ol family saga.

Was about to buy Giant (as in Liz Taylor in Texas epic film) but wondered whether you had any other ideas please?

Have got pretty wide ranging taste but not up to War and Peace and don't really do much chick lit stuff.

Thank you x

Aha Fivegomad, cracking suggestions. Have read all of those but 25 years ago and wouldnt mind a reread.

Strange isnt it, how you just get in the mood for a type of book?
