Winter of the world - Ken Follett
- In English. First published in 2012.
Winter of the World picks up right where the first book of its trilogy, "Fall of Giants" left off, as its five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, Welsh - enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs.
-> A feeling of "déjà lu", that is to know the families, mix them up, the context, and aim at finding something new in the book. Not uninteresting, yet way too long to be kept captivated by it.
