This week’s book review: Edge of Eternity
Storming to the top of this week’s best sellers is Ken Follett’s Edge of Eternity, published by Dutton, a Penguin imprint. It is the finale of his Century Trilogy that follows the fortunes of five intermingled families – American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh – as they make their way through the twentieth century. The book is set between the 1960s and the 1980s, an era that saw the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, the cultural revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
