Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Rich and powerful, the Geary dynasty has reigned over American society for decades. But it is a family with dark, terrible secrets. For the Gearys are a family at war. Their adversaries are the Barbarossas, a clan whose timeless origins lie in myth, whose mystical influence is felt in intense, sensual exchanges of flesh and soul. Now their battle is about to escalate. When Galilee, prodigal prince of the Barbarossa clan, meets Rachel, the young bride of the Gearys' own scion Mitchell, they fall in love, consumed by a passion that unleashes long-simmering hatred. Old insanities arise, old adulteries are uncovered, and a seemingly invincible family will begin to wither, exposing its unholy roots.... Review:"A spellbinding treat....Galilee leaps through time and space to reveal an impressively majestic vision told in beautiful prose." People Review:"Part soap opera, part fantasy, part family saga, part historical novel, part secret history of America...[Galilee] reveals Barker as one of the most imaginative writers working today." Newark Star-Ledger Review:"A powerful work of fiction written by a master storyteller at the height of his skill. Galilee reads like a James Michener saga with Barker characters and love scenes." Rocky Mountian News Review:"[A] sendup of both the Harlequin romance and the American Southern Gothic novel. Overheated and intermittently risible, but the thing is entertaining: the kind of book for which hammocks were invented — not to mention double boilermakers."
