I am almost at the end of Winter of the World by Ken Follett. I really liked the parallels in the stories of the families. This is mainly about the next generation of the families first introduced to us in Fall of Giants. Greg Peshkov in the American family and Lloyd Williams from the Welsh family were both children born outside of marriage. The difference was that Greg always knew his real Dad but Lloyd did not. Lloyd Williams from the Welsh family and Volodya Peshkov from the Russian family had wonderful stepfathers and did not know their biological brothers until adulthood. The discovery of who their real Dad was came as a shock. Daisy Peshkov from the American family and Katerina Peshkov from the Russian family fell in love with the wrong brother at first but made the right choice later on in life. Woody Dewar from America, Werner Franck from Germany, and Volodya from Russia experienced unrequited love. They found the love of their lives then seemed to lose them and then won them back again.
I liked how the stories had different voices, the second generation voices. Looking forward to the third book in the Century trilogy and the third generation voices.
This blog is for book lovers. Initially this blog focused on the books selected by members of the Okefenokee Book Club who used to meet in Waycross, Georgia. Now, it is about my reading interests. I will also continue to post any interesting information related to writers, libraries, and book clubs in general.
