The O'Briens by Peter Behrens

Both of us who read this title liked it very much. It is the story of a family descended from the main character of Behren's earlier book, The Law of Dreams. We follow the family from the early 1900s in Quebec through both world wars and into the 60s. The main character is a self-made rich industrialist, married to an independent and very interesting woman. The book chronicles their marriage through the years and provides a great look at Canadian life through these times.
