Her father led her to glittering success - but no-one taught her how to love. In A Prologue To Love, Taylor Caldwell has written the profoundly moving novel of Caroline Ames, a woman rich beyond imagining, whose inability to give or accept love, fear of poverty, and hostility brings in their wake tragedy and unhappiness for almost all the lives she touches. Caldwell writes of three generations of the Ames family in and around Boston during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with great insight and compassion. Perhaps Miss Caldwell's most impressive achievement is her ability to evoke the reader's sympathy and understanding for Caroline Ames. It is an inspiring story of the power of love and faith in overcoming evil.

reviewed A prologue to love on August 20, 2009 A prologue to love
Taylor Caldwell remains one of my all-time favorite authors and I find her books relevant and wonderful today. A Prologue to Love -- "her father led her to glittering success but no one taught her how to love" -- is a novel about a wealthy woman in the first half of the 20th century. While the book is sweeping, it is, in the end, a simple parable about how we can be blind to what is truly important and enduring because of deprivation of love, fears born of ignorance, and abused innocence.
I love Caldwell's vigorous intelligence, crisp avoidance of sentimentality for pure and honest emotion, and the sheer force of her language. She doesn't write about money for it's glamour as does Danielle Steel, but for it's importance to people -- how it drives them and shapes them.
