Janie who is truly wicked. She is so abusive to her young children that it is uncomfortable to read those parts of the book where she is being abusive. She is self centered and selfish. Bad mother. The other cousin is Stuart. He is a reckless man but has a good heart and is kind and forgiving. There is a lot to this book. It covers hatred, love, forgiveness, vengeance, patriotism as well as racism against every nationality and religion. It was too drawn out for me in some spots but I gave it 4 stars because it had a good story line and was a meaningful book. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

An "intimately limned" saga of passion and greed in the decade before the Civil War--from the New York Times-bestselling author of Captains and the Kings (Kirkus Reviews). The Wide House is the story of two cousins from Ireland: Stuart Coleman, a shopkeeper who dreams of building a big white house and raising a family, and Janie Cauder, a young widow with four children, only one of whom she truly adores. When Janie arrives in Grandeville, New York, the two begin a surprising romance--but happiness is not to be their fate. Driven by ambition and haunted by self-doubt, Stuart spurns Janie for the beautiful daughter of a business rival. Janie, meanwhile, takes her disappointment out on her children and pursues new romantic opportunities--to diminishing returns. As the national mood turns increasingly antagonistic to outsiders, Stuart and Janie's inability to love will leave a bitter mark on their lives, and on generations to come. A richly detailed portrait of a fascinating time in American history, The Wide House is a masterwork from an author whose "sheer power" has captivated millions of readers all over the world (The New York Times).
