Roses
Bookseller Elizabeth Barhhill described this family saga as the “Texas version of Gone with the Wind” when we talked during WSIRN Episode 376: Bookstore confidential. An East Texas town is controlled by its founding families and the industries they rule over. The story follows the fall out of Mary Toliver and Percy Warwick’s decision not to marry, the consequences of which continue across three generations as the lies, drama, passion, and tragedies unfold.
About the Book
Publisher’s 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.
