Si ça ne tenait qu'à elle, Ivy passerait ses journées affalée dans le canapé, devant la télé, paquets de chips en main, à papoter avec son familier félin jusqu'à ce que mort s'ensuive.

Winter of the World picks up right where the first book left off, as its five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, Welsh - enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs. As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion.
