This epic is about revolution, battle, hate, and love. This massive work chronicles the experiences of five families throughout the seismic events of World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the fight for women's suffrage.
As of 1911. George V.'s Coronation Day: The Williams family, Welsh coal miners, are romantically and antagonistically connected to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal miners. The spy Walter von Ulrich works at the German Embassy in London, and Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with him. Their fate is linked to that of two orphaned Russian brothers who are trying to go to America but are prevented from doing so by war, conscription, and revolution, as well as the aspirations of an aspirational young assistant to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. "Fall of Giants" deftly transitions from Washington to St. Petersburg, from the grime and peril of a coal mine to the glistening chandeliers of a palace, and from the halls of power to the beds of the powerful, all while maintaining an intriguingly complicated and dramatized storyline.
