Right. I have exhausted all the family saga type series I know of. What can I read that's similar to the Cazalets, the Clifton Chronicles, the Forsytes, anything by Penny Vincenzi, the Emma Hart books, Outlander etc etc. Inspire me! I want easy reading, absorbing, long and ideally multiple volumes....

The Forsyte Saga - John Galsworthy.

Just the best ever family saga & a forerunner to many mentioned above.

The Jalna series by Mazo de la Roche - lovely books.

Have you read R F Delderfield's novels. A Horseman Riding By trilogy, for example. Or To Serve Them All My Days, and many more. Should satisfy the need for long family sagas

The Wideacre Trilogy by Philippa Gregory
The Patteran Trilogy by Patricia Wendorf -

Have you tried Jodi Picoult novels - a bit similar but each one takes a theme and gives different characters' perspectives of it? Not very heavy but easy to read .

Have you read the Wideacre trilogy by Philippa Gregory? Here

Sorry posted too soon; Cynthia Harrod Eagles, The Morland Dynasty books.

KatieKaye · 04/07/2014 20:54

How about Susan Howatch? Penmarric, Cashelmara, The Wheel of Fortune and The Rich Are DIfferent and it's sequel Sins of the Fathers?

I Claudius and Claudius The God by Robert Graves for the ultimate in dysfunctional families.

How about Cynthia Harrod Eagles?
