Winter of the World is the second novel in Ken Follett's uniquely
ambitious and deeply satisfying The Century Trilogy. On its own or
read in sequence with Fall of Giants and Edge of Eternity, this is
a magnificent, spellbinding epic of global conflict and personal
drama. Berlin in 1933 is in upheaval. Eleven-year-old Carla von
Ulrich struggles to understand the tensions disrupting her family
as Hitler strengthens his grip on Germany. Into this turmoil steps
her mother's formidable friend and former British MP, Ethel
Leckwith, and her student son, Lloyd, who soon learns for himself
the brutal reality of Nazism. He also encounters a group of Germans
resolved to oppose Hitler - but are they willing to go so far as to
betray their country? Such people are closely watched by Volodya, a
Russian with a bright future in Red Army Intelligence. The
international clash of military power and personal beliefs that
ensues will sweep over them all as it rages from Cable Street in
London's East End to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, from Spain to
Stalingrad, from Dresden to Hiroshima. At Cambridge, Lloyd is
irresistibly drawn to dazzling American socialite Daisy Peshkov,
who represents everything his left-wing family despise. But Daisy
is more interested in aristocratic Boy Fitzherbert - amateur pilot,
party lover and leading light of the British Union of Fascists.
Back in Berlin, Carla worships golden boy Werner from afar. But
nothing will work out the way they expect as their lives and the
hopes of the world are smashed by the greatest and cruellest war in
the history of the human race.
