Sweet revenge
23 July 2003
Format:Hardcover
When Jacob Roth is falsely accused of the rape and murder of a young girl in the small Georgia town of Magnolia, he is dragged from the jail and lynched by the KKK.His teenaged daughters, Laura and Iris are forced to leave town by the bigoted residents who are under the influence of Judge Slocum who presided at Jacobs mockery of a trial.The two girls flee to New York where they take menial jobs and live a hand-to mouth existence. Iris is determined to have a life filled with glamour and wealth while Laura is equally determined to become a lawyer so as to be able to clear her fathers name.. Iris heads for Hollywood and a brief career as a silent movie star while Laura meets and marries a young lawyer who helps her in her quest for a law degree. Iris eventually marries a member of the British nobility for his title and money, while Laura becomes a real estate tycoon. This is one of those older books which are full of interesting characters and situations and one which I'm sure will appeal as a big, comfy read to a lot of people.
