I forgot Harold Robbins !My Mom was a Constant Reader, as are all her children and grandchildren. Her Mother worked at a Drug Store, and always kept us stocked with every kind of reading material, from the latest Comics to the Best-selling Novels of the moment. I must have been 9 or 10 when I had read all of Mark Twain and John Steinbeck, and began reading Harold Robbins. I continued reading him during my time in the Navy, and all through the 70's. I thoroughly enjoyed " Memories of Another Day, and will now catch up on all I've missed since the Eighties.
Great story, but I got a little worn out trying to keep up with all of the characters, especially the wives and girlfriends. I guess it was all necessary, but when you overlay that many characters on top of multiple time periods, it gets hard to follow. There are also a good deal of explicit sex passages, so this one is not for younger readers.All in all though, M.O.A.D. is great historical fiction. It brought to life many of the things I learned in school about the labor movement of the early 20th century.
What do You think about Memories Of Another Day (1993)?
