Evergreen by Belva Plain Book Summary

“A grand, sweeping panorama . . . richly written, finely detailed . . . vivid and memorable.”—Daily News (New York)

Yearning for a better life, Anna Friedman fled Poland for New York at the turn of the century. Finding work as a maid for the Werner family, Anna discovers an elegance beyond her dreams—and the passion of Paul Werner, a man beyond her reach, even when she is in his arms. But it is Joseph Friedman whom she marries. And through an act of illicit passion that will haunt her though all her days, Anna lifts Joseph from poverty to a wealth on which the Friedman dynasty would be based for generations. Sweeping from Jazz Age New York to Nazi Germany to a sun-baked Israeli kibbutz, Evergreen has become a modern American classic—an epic novel that spans three generations of an unforgettable family—and exposes the heart of an extraordinary woman: her marriage, her children, her deceit.

“A magnificent story . . . this beautifully written  book will be treasured and reread for many years to come.”—Library Journal

An Unforgettable Story. This is one book that I have read every summer since the year it was published. One thing I love is how alive the characters seem to be - and how relatable as well. Belva Plain wove a complex beautiful tapestry with words, thoughts, feelings, and emotions of Anna, Joseph, Iris, Maurice, and family. I absolutely love this book! Nancy

Evergreen. One of the most profound wonderful books that I’ve read in a long time! Well worth the read. I won’t ever forget this book.

Lovely. Read this several times as a young teen, and just read again at 45. Lovely writing, great characters. A worthy beach read.

FABULOUS STORYTELLING. Historical, well developed characters , a beautiful beginning. I loved the Novel and the fantastic characters. Great story telling. I am ready for the next book. Excellent Read. I will read all of the books related to this story. Geneva Freeport New York March 20, 2024

Rambling and Convaluted. I know this is a critically acclaimed novel that got great reviews. Im personally struggling to understand why. It rambles over multiple decades and generational drama, which in theory makes a great read one can get lost in. Instead the reader is yanked from storyline to storyline with seemingly no rhyme or reason to when and how the story changes. The style of writing is such that the reader is to understand the thoughts of each character as well as read their dialogue. This is an interesting approach and should be moving, instead it feels like stream-of-consciousness drivel. The drafts must have driven the editor(s) crazy. Im struggling to finish it but keep hoping the random and rambling storylines will somehow tie back together. Huge disappointment since this book has been on so many “best” lists since it’s publication. If this is Plain’s writing style I shan’t be reading more of her work. Disjointed, way too long for seemingly no direction of the story, Evergreen is not one of those books I look back on with joy or even pleasure. Don’t waste your time, and it’s going to be a huge chunk of your time as it rambles on for over 700 painful pages.

Evergreen. First time reading this author. I wish I could say I enjoyed this book, but I can’t. I found it extremely depressing and overly long.

Evergreen. Second time reading Evergreen. I remember loving this book many many years ago and after reading it again still I love this book. It speaks of family, hardworking Americans who made it in life with do diligence and hard work. It amazed me that some social issues are still issues we battle today, but what spoke the loudest was family love, traditions, and bonds.
