Good work of historical fiction as one has come to expect from Follett. The storyline Is entertaining enough to get through the 1000+ pages and the story works well with the historical background. The storylines set in the three different countries are woven together skilfully. I was especially intrigued by the suffragette plot and the empowerment of Ethel.
Spoiler
The reversal of the power dynamic with Ethel coming out on top was a high note to end the book.Graphic: Death, Violence, Murder, and War
Moderate: Abandonment, Antisemitism, and Police brutality
Minor: Racism and Sexual assault
