Winter of the World / Ken Follett 1008 p. Big books

This continues the stories of five interrelated families: American, English, Welsh, German, and Russian.  It picks up about ten years after the first book.  Interwoven into the families' lives is the rise of Nazi German, Spanish Civil War, and World War II.  The story never lags as Follett tells of the major events of the 20th century.  He is a master of including economic, cultural, political, and social transformations of the entire era.  Looking forward to the concluding book.
