Article Of Books The Rich Are Different (Van Zale #1)

Excellent novel, the story has more than one climax which is a first. She writes from different perspectives and the writing is intelligent. She illustrates human flaw deliciously. Love!

I loved Cashelmara and The Wheel of Fortune (and can't wait to read Penmarric), Howatch's series which takes the infamous Plantagenets and places them in 'modern day' settings, and was therefore looking forward to The Rich Are Different which retells the story of Ceaser, Cleopatra, Mark Antony and Augustus. Unlike the Plantagenets who I know well, I've never read about the Romans and was keen to discover their story as well as get swept away in a big fat family saga full of love, lust, hate and

Dinah, an ambitious but impoverished young woman, propositions Paul, a rich American banker, in the hope of saving her family property. The book takes place in both the UK and USA, revolving around high finance and business. Fast-moving, tough characters, and well-woven plots with a fairly satisfying ending. When I first read this in 2000 I concluded that it was not really my kind of book. In a sense that's still true - the banking and high finance life of the early 20th century isn't my scene.

This is my second Susan Howatch book, but my first was actually it's sequel (The Sins of the Father), which I read many, many years ago, and which had me hungering for this book, so I could learn the history of the characters.Now is the era of ebooks, and although I never saw this in stores or the library when I thought to look for it, it was just a few keystrokes away on Amazon, so I was quite happy to acquire it and finally have the chance to read it.So did it live up to my expectations?I knew

I am in awe with Susan Howatch as this novel was the most pleasant surprise for me. I bought a battered copy of this novel ( a old one from the 70s with a misleading cover ) on a charity sale and after a couple of years standing in my library, I decided to give it a go but expecting it to be a romance novel. No, sir, not at all. I loved it from the beginning and being so pleased with the book, I made a little research about it and found it was a "modern?" retelling of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra,

I re- read this book after many years. The first time I read it I did not realise it was based on Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra but never-the-less it immediately became one of my favourite books. This shows how timeless this story of love and power is.The book begins in the UK and New York, post world war 1 and is told in the first person by a succession of interesting characters based on real Romans with the character based on Cleopatra, Dinah, getting two sections to herself. She is obviously

Re-read last year but am writing reviews for all the early novels in light of their historical back stories. This review is substantially the same as for the sequel Sins of the FathersI love Susan Howatch's psychological writing. More, I love her method of taking a historical context and transposing it to a more modern one; in this case, the story of Julius Caesar. I see very few people seem to read the back story of Caesar as they review this book so I thought I would make a more detailed
