Enjoyable Saga
The fictional device of a centuries-long conflict between two families is nothing new, but William Martin brings great fun to the concept. The book traces the history of the upright (but oft unscrupulous) Bigelows and the scrappy Hilyards, from their landing on the Mayflower to the present time. At the heart of the story is the conflict between the 'progress' of development on Cape Cod and the importance of preserving its natural beauty. A rousing and readable tale that moves back and forth from history to the present, this is never a dull book.

Not as well written as Back Bay, which really held my interest.
In my opinion, this book isn't very interesting to read. It is interesting for the Cape Cod history content though. It is set in more than one time period. The period of today was hard for me to follow and there are some detailed sexual parts that didn't need to be in the book.
