![]() If asked to summarize Fall of Giants in one sentence, I would say it’s a story that follows several families through World War 1 and its impact on them. It was a bittersweet moment but it reminded me, once again, why Ken Follett is one of the best. About five minutes later, I started to panic a little for the exact same reason – the book was over and I would never again get to experience the lives of Gus, the advisor to President Wilson who you want to protect from the world or Grigori, the poor Russian whose sole wish was to move to America or Lady Maud, the aristocrat who championed women’s rights and fell in love with the enemy or Walter, the German spy who was the object of Lady Maud’s affection or Ethel, the ambitious housemaid whose fall from grace took her to unlikely places. It was a stunning book filled with accurate historical accounts of the events surrounding World War 1 and the characters where rich and real to me. ![]() When I finished Fall of Giants, the first in Ken Follett’s latest trilogy, I was filled with happiness. ![]() Buy the book: Amazon/Audible (this post includes affiliate links) ![]()
