Editorial Reviews

"Big" describes it best - a colorful sprawling novel, spread across three-quarters of a century and four generations... Almost impossible to put down the author has the ability to produce one powerful scene after another and the action draws you helplessly on...

Publisher's Weekly - Richard H. Brown

No doubt there will be boring rainy days this month. The antidote might be So Many Partings - a portly, perfect for porch reading book. If you dive joyfully into multi-generational sagas this one could make you hope the sun doesn't come out so that you can put away another few hundred pages.

Carol E. Rinzler

If you loved The Thorn Birds or Ragtime, then I expect that Cathy Cash Spellman's new novel will be your meat.

The New York Daily News - Liz Smith

A cross between The Thorn Birds and Ragtime...

ALA Booklist

I was so enthralled by this lusty, long, and lilting first novel before I could be objective enough to review the book. My second reading will not be my last, and I look forward to further novels by Cathy Cash Spellman.
