A big luscious read!

This is one of those older style books..a big,big read, filled with fascinating characters through five generations. Saffity, a Greek Jew who seeks to hide his religious background, is posessed by huge ambitions to succeed in life and to create an empire of wealth, his friend Max, a refugee from the pogroms of Poland and Colette, a Parisian courtesan with a dubious background, find that their separate lives intertwine through the generations, to make a rich and entertaining story of love, greed, wealth and hate. It's a great big satisfying read !
