How do you define a ‘family saga’ as a literary genre? What makes such sagas enjoyable to read, how did they come to be so called, and what are some beloved examples of the genre? I discuss some of my favourites and hopefully will also inspire you to read some of the ones you have perhaps never read. Families – so complex, sometimes challenging, and yet how could we do without them?
Join me for a look at my Five Favourite Family Sagas from Novels, and discover which books I love the most. I wonder what your choices would be?
