What book did you savor, staying up late to read, yet hoping you wouldn't reach the end? [View all]
Most recently for me...if you lived in the 60's it will take you back there - only with more clarity Excellent book !
Edge of Eternity - Ken Follett
Edge of Eternity, the sweeping, passionate conclusion to the Century trilogy, is #1 on the bestseller lists in the USA, UK, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Throughout the Century Trilogy, Ken has followed the fortunes of five intertwined families American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh as they make their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all, the enormous social, political, and economic turmoil of the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Presidential impeachment, revolution and rock and roll.
