Wonderful characters

I really loved the variety of characters and their entwining circumstances. The setting in Door County made the story come alive as we have vacationed there. Marie Bostwick has created another delightful book that could have a sequel just as interesting.

With the outbreak of the American revolution, Abigail Lovell's family is torn apart - while her schoolmaster father is an outspoken loyalist and prominent figurehead in the community, she and her two brothers engage in acts of espionage to undermine the British forces in Boston. Her sickly older brother, James, operates the patriots’ spy ring while Abigail acts as a courier, eluding increasingly aggressive British patrols. Meanwhile, her younger brother, Benjamin, slips out of Boston to fight alongside Abigail’s love, Ezra, in the battles at Lexington and Concord.

Excellent Historical fiction
Revisado: 10-19-15
At times the text becomes explicit and more appropriate for adults than young readers. Interesting viewpoint of the Boston historical times.

Ken Follett follows up his number one New York Times best seller Fall of Giants with a brilliant, pause-resisting epic about the heroism and honor of World War II, and the dawn of the atomic age. Winter of the World picks up right where the first book left off, as its five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, Welsh - enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and World War II.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely captures the reality of history.
What did you like best about this story?
I love the character development Follett gives. He is a master at dialogue.
Which scene was your favorite?
I was especially moved when the air crash near the train explosion brought two brothers together for the last time.
If you could take any character from Winter of the World out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Daisy was one of my favorites because of her transformation from socialite to ambulance driver.
