1. Whiteoaks Of Jalna
Whiteoaks of Jalna is the fourth in Mazo de la Roche's series chronicling a century of the wealthy Whiteoak family, a saga partly based on the author's own experiences. It follows central figures such as Adeline Whiteoak and later generations including Eden, Renny, and Alayne. An early scene places eighteen-year-old Finch Whiteoak in a wet, drafty passage beneath a striped awning leading to the Coliseum, his raincoat and felt hat dripping as he enters.
