A fabulous saga of the making of an oil town and the people who create it post world war I. I really enjoyed the characters, the family drama, the way the history of Texas and the great oil families was woven into the story. The 2 main characters are flawed, annoying and surprisingly human. What I did not enjoy was that you could definitely tell the book was written by a man. The women were a bit more seduced by lust than in the 'real' world.
