It was as expected after the first book that had me excited. Two years to come ... It's long and too is rather short in terms of the documentation that had to accumulate, intrigues and destinies that had to tie up. What happiness! This novel is more than a novel; it is a book of didactic story that takes us back to our recent past. The fact that the characters evolve on different continents enables us to have a global vision of political events. Really, Bravo Mr. FOLLETT
