Book Reviews of Kane and Abel
Book Review: Great story to enjoy immensely
Summary: 5 Stars
It is about two men of two different backgrounds born in the same day, one, William, born in a golden Wasp conservative affluent family of Boston, owners of a powerful bank, the other, Wladek (Abel) a Pole, born in extreme poverty, forced to flee his homeland Poland after witnessing and suffering the atrocities of the war waged by the Russians, he later got by chance to immigrate to the US and became a self made man pursuing the American Dream, finally getting to the top as an hotel mogul.
Both lives are destined to clash, the reader understand this from the very beginning and from the title of the book. The story goes from the turn of the century, following the Great Depression and ends in the beginning of the sixties, when Kennedy runs for President. It is about human passions, family and life itself. It is fast paced, very well written and with ingenious twist and turns.
The ending chapters hold a lot of surprises and do not disappoint
Summary of Kane and Abel
William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless polish immigrant-born on the same day near the turn of the century on opposite sides of the world-are brought together by fate and the quest of a dream. Two men - ambitious, powerful, ruthless - are locked in a relentless struggle to build an empire, fueled by their all-consuming hatred. Over sixty years and three generations, through war, marriage, fortune, and disaster, Kane and Abel battle for the success and triumph that only one man can have...Family Saga Books
