Fall of Giants

Author: Ken Follett
Stars: 4
Review by: Mary NK

Although I'm not usually interested in the WWI era, this complex novel captivated me with the lives of disparate people drawn together by social issues, politics and war. Follett's genius is giving his characters lives we can care about. How he eventually brings together a Welsh coal miner, a British aristocrat, his Russian princess wife, her maid, Russian peasant factory workers, an idealistic German soldier and many others - I'll let you discover for yourself.
