Why read it?
1 author picked North and South as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
John Jakes’s trilogy is a huge investment of time, but for those who love family sagas, American history and intriguing conflicts, it's a huge banquet to sink your teeth into.

From Rich's list on historical fiction on 19th & 20th century America.
