Ken Follett’s magnificent new historical epic begins, as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women’s suffrage.

A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a man’s world in the mining pits.…An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson’s White House.… A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy.…And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution.

The book arrived in the mail yesterday. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I do enjoy the author's books. I will journal it after I read it and then find it a new home.

Next up to read. I am sure I will get hooked and have to read the other two. I have Winter of the World on my TBR shelf.

Follett is a master at conveying the drama and history of the time period. I loved the way that he included America, England, Germany, and Russia. He had a way of making you care about the characters. I have the second in the series.
