About this listen
As Arthurian myth sowed the seeds of democracy, The Rowan Tree foretells a world of founded upon dignity. Anchored by a pair of interlocking love stories, this unflinching novel of ideas brims with passionate quests, revelatory failures, and inextinguishable hope.
The Rowan Tree is an inspirational tour de force that reaches from the rebellious American '60s into humanity's global future. Soul-searching treks around the world intersect with campus revolution, basketball, math, ballet, and a destined rise to the White House. Love runs ahead of politics and lights the way for nations to follow.

Lives and work of privileged people
I am torn with this book. As a work of fiction I enjoyed listening to the story, it held my interest. The lofty concepts of a global solution to the world ailments I liked and enjoyed thinking about how they could work and it's additional message, I think, that with privelege also comes responsibility. However, it just rankles the easy travel here meet this "networked" connection there. ... oh so you want to drop out of Uni ...Ok "well I will fund your travel to find your true purpose, that can be your education". oh you are marrying and working in NY well I will buy your apartment for you. Sure... that's what money allows you to do but it just felt off and showy. There was a lot of "oh yeah but we were working 80 hour weeks and working for humanitarian organisations". I dont know it just annoyed me. If you try to look past that aspect the book itself has a lovely cadenence, is well written and was an easy listen. I guess there a lots of people who live this life, just not something I relate to or want to relate to. It was trying to be meaningful and it did have some nuggets but fell short for me.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
