WWII through international eyes. Nobody knows how to weave a wide spectrum of stories together into one big, bold tapestry like Ken Follett. In the second installment of his series The Century, the master of historical fiction lets us feel what it was like living in the shadow of WWII. Follett accomplishes this ambitious feat by putting a multitude of personal faces on the experience, telling the tales of five different families from different parts of the planet, all of whose lives are upended in one way or another by the war. From a British/American love triangle at Cambridge to the adventures of the underground resistance in Germany, Winter of the World is a wild ride touching on sex, politics, friendship, and more.
