Review: TITANS by Leila Meacham

My review of Titans (Grand Central Publishing) by Leila Meacham was published by Lone Star Literary Life! This is a grand historical fiction Texas family saga with modern elements. From the review:

In Titans, Leila Meacham crafts a grand Texas family epic, by way of Dickens, about the titans of the titans of Texas: ranching and oil. Meacham considers family and home. What is family? Is it always blood? Or is family whom we choose to be ours? Is home a specific place, a plot of land, or house? Or is home actually family, no matter where you are? Or, maybe, home is a state of mind. 

The briskly paced plot is deceptively simple, allowing Meacham�s complex characters significant development. Titans is set at the turn of the twentieth century, and Meacham�s younger women reflect the growing independence and changing roles of women in American society. Betrayal and generational change are major themes in Titans: tangled relationships, secrets, and competing motivations. Like Watergate, it becomes essential to determine who knew what and when they knew it.
