Publisher Description
Winter of the World is the second novel in Ken Follett's uniquely ambitious Century trilogy. On its own or read in sequence with Fall of Giants and Edge of Eternity, this is a spellbinding epic of global conflict and personal drama during World War II.
A Battle of Ideals
It is 1933 and, at Cambridge, Lloyd Williams is drawn to irresistible socialite Daisy Peshkov, who represents everything that his left-wing family despise. But Daisy is more interested in aristocratic Boy Fitzherbert, a leader in the British Union of Fascists.
An Evil Uprising
Berlin is in turmoil. Eleven-year-old Carla von Ulrich struggles to understand the tensions disrupting her family as Hitler strengthens his grip on Germany. Many are resolved to oppose Hitler’s brutal regime – but are they willing to betray their country?
A Global Conflict on a Scale Never Seen Before
Shaken by the tyranny and the prospect of war, the lives of five families become ever more enmeshed. As an international clash of military power and personal beliefs sweeps the world, what will this new war mean for those who must live through it?
Continue the captivating Century Trilogy with Edge of Eternity.
Customer Reviews
Cheaper using the Kindle App
I now alsways compare prices bwtween iBooks and Kindle, most of the time the Kindle app is cheaper, and this is the case in this book.
£12.99 on iBooks or £8 in the Kindle app.
The book is great really getting in to it though a great second book in the trilogy.
Unputdownable
That's the trouble with Ken Follet's books: he tells such a good story that once you've started to read you can't stop until you've read it from end to end. His background research is always painstaking, making the stories feel even more realistic. Roll on the next book!!
Winter of the World
Excellent. Makes all the events of the 1940's very real & vivid in all its human tragedy. But we care about these people from all sides of the story.
