Fall of Giants (The Century Trilogy, Book 1)

Ken Follettâ€™s magnificent new historical epic beginsÂ as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for womenâ€™s suffrage.Â

A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a manâ€™s world in the mining pits. . . . An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilsonâ€™s White House. . . . A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy. . . . And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution.Â

From the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty,Â Fall of GiantsÂ takes us into the inextricably entangled fates of five familiesâ€”and into a century that we thought we knew, but that now will never seem the same again. . . .Â
