One hundred fifty years of Roses' Tolivers, Warwicks, and DuMonts! We begin in the antebellum South on Plantation Alley in South Carolina, where Silas Toliver, deprived of his inheritance, joins up with his best friend Jeremy Warwick to plan a wagon train expedition to the "black waxy" promise of a new territory called Texas. Slavery, westward expansion, abolition, the Civil War, love, marriage, friendship, tragedy and triumph-all the ingredients (and much more) that made so many love Roses so much-are here in abundance.

What did you love best about Somerset?
I loved the sweeping historical fiction as well as the background for my favorite of Meacham's books: Roses. Silas and Jessica were both well-rounded and likable characters, and Thomas and Vernon later on.Who was your favorite character and why?
I enjoyed Silas and Jessica equally, and Tippy was also an interesting character early on, though I would have liked to have heard her more developed. She basically disappeared about halfway through the book.What didn’t you like about Teresa DeBerry’s performance?
Incredibly over acted, her voice at times in the early portions of the book was like nails on a chalkboard. Especially with Elizabeth and Tippy's characters. I think the narrator for Roses did a much, much better job. I enjoyed the story enough to grin and bear it and after about 2-3 hours into the book I got used to it.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, the narration was too annoying.Any additional comments?
The narration is the only bad thing I have to say about this book.Narration is terrible, but the story is superb.

This book ranks as one of the best fiction pieces I have read. I was sad when it was over.What did you like best about this story?
I loved the historic detail given to the location and it's characters. Each character was greatly developed throughout the book while keeping to the essence of their traits and actions.Which scene was your favorite?
There were so many favorite scenes. Bit I think it would any scene with Silas. He loved her more than anyone would ever know.Any additional comments?
I found myself staying in my car after a long drive just so that I could continue hearing the story. The narrator was fabulous and believable.Saying good bye is hard
