Description

Comprising the 20th-century, the tale of Flowers happens in a little East Texas town from the background of the wood and cotton industries, industries managed by the scions of the town's founding people. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and wood magnate Percy Warwick should have committed but unwisely didn't, and now must cope with the deceit, strategies, and disasters of the selection and the increasing loss of what might have been--not only for themselves but for their children, and children's children. With specialist, unabashed, large-fabric storytelling, Flowers addresses one hundred years, several generations of Texans and the combination of enthusiasm for function and yearning for love.
