Turnbulls — Taylor Caldwell

Taylor Caldwell's unforgettable novel of John Turnbull, who fled Victorian England in heartbreak and disgrace, his life broken by one night of drunken lust, to build an empire of wealth and power in a brash new world... and Eugenia MacNeill, whose naked passion could not be crushed by bitter betrayal, whose hungry desire reached across an ocean to defy the morals of an age.

This is the story of two rebellious spirits, bound together by a forbidden love that spanned two decades and warped the destinies of many.

It is a big novel, vivid with color and bold with the turbulent life that only a great writer could give it.
