![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From the very first chapter, I knew I had the potential to enjoy this one. It was actually gifted to me by a friend at university for my birthday and I actually read its couple of months later – that is pretty good going for me. As I said, I first read Fall of Giants back in 2020 and I fell in love. I’ll link that one for you HERE if you’d like more detail on my thoughts as I’m going to give you an overview in this post. ![]() I actually published a full review of Fall of Giants when I first read this book back in 2020. The Goodreads synopsis aptly sums this novel up: “”Fall Of Giants” moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, 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.” However, at the backdrop of all these characters stories is WW1. Maude Fitzherbert falls in love with the German Walter von Ulrich, all of whom’s lives are intertwined with a young aide to President Wilson and two Russian boys wanting to emigrate to the US. The Williams family of a small Welsh-mining town becomes intertwined with the aristocratic family the Fitzherberts. The series begins in 1911 when King George V is being coronated. ![]()
