Just as I loved "The Wakefields of Sweet Valley", I absolutely adored the patriarchs account of a love destined to be. The whole series moves me. As a "Sweet Valley" fan I recommend this book.

It's a great book . I have read a lot of sweetvalleys but this is one of my favourites.I recommmend this book for all sweetvalley fans.

I read this over christmas break and i could hardly put it down it was tragic and uplifting at times, too. I would reccomend this book to anyone!

wow...if you loved Sweet Valley then, you'll love it even more after reading this captivating novel. Everything in this story was just so emotional..from Theo's quest for his true love, to Sarah's brave struggle to marry her soulmate..only to end in tragedy, and all the way up to Ned's heroic rescue of Alice..the familiar blonde-haired blue-green eyed girl. I couldn't believe how much Jessica and Elizabeth's paternal and maternal ancestors had intertwined. A must-have for all Sweet Valley Fanatics!

This book was mediocre. It wasn't as great as its counterpart, which chronicled the adventures of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield's maternal lineage. This story, which tells about Jessica and Elizabeth's paternal lineage, begins with Theodore Wakefield, the twins' great-great-great-grandfather who rescues Alice Larson (the twins' great-great-great-grandmother) from drowning. Throughout the book, I find it uncanny and unrealistic how the members of the twins' paternal lineage constantly have romantic clashes with the members of the twins' maternal lineage. However, members of neither family marry one another until the generation of Ned Wakefield and Alice Robertson, the twins' parents. Also, the book is too dramatic at some intervals, and too romantic at some. But some parts of this book are believable and compelling. Francine Pascal used strong historical backgrounds when she wrote this story, which is one of its better qualities. It makes a good airplane read, but nothing more serious or interesting.

When I first read the book I just couldn't put it down because i thought it was a fine book. And terribly romantic.This book is one of my favorites. It has humor, family problems, and historical fiction. I recommend this book to sweet valley fans, and fans who also like reading historical fiction

This book was wonderfully, completely romantic but I came to find that each story for each family member was the same- They escaped from something, had their heart broken, finally found someone else and...well I'd hate to give it away. Even though it is predictable, it is still an exciting page-turner that I recomend reading! This is a very interesting book that I could not put down, the ending is also very clever and surprising.

this book is so cool! you can actually tell that Liz and Jess' parents are so for each other. you can also see that the Wakefields are really hard workers.
