Den femte delen av Cliftonkrönikan och vilken besvikelse. Jag förstår nu varför del 5-7 inte har översatts. Det finns bättre avsnitt. De som rör Harry är spännande och läsvärda. Romanen utspelar sig 1964-1970 och har olika familjemedlemmar som huvudpersoner. Väldigt mycket politiksnack, affärstaktig och otroligt hämdlystna intriger. Tråkigt sa Måns.
