Description de l’éditeur
Kate Blackwell is the symbol of success—a beautiful woman who has parlayed her inheritance into an international conglomerate. Now, celebrating her 90th birthday, Kate surveys the family she has manipulated, dominated, and loved: the fair and the grotesque, the mad and the mild, the good and the evil—her winnings in life.

One of my favs from this author!
Master of the game
This has been my favorite book since I was 10 years old. I have still have not found another comparable story. It is an amazing adventure I can only hope everyone can experience. A must read!
Master of the Game
Sidney Sheldon wrote this work of fiction in very much the same style as Harold Robbins' "Carpetbaggers". It deals with the meteoric rise to wealth and fame of a young Scottish fellow who mines diamonds in Africa, and his subsequent heirs to his hard-won fortune. It is actually several books in one, spanning over 100 years, but the narrative is knitted together very well. It is very insightful as far as explaining the various political and socio-economic situations of the day, within the time-frame and context of the story. The novel itself never gets draggy or boring, and although it covers a pretty long time-frame, manages to keep the reader engaged.I am now going to read the sequel, " Mistress of the Game".
