When you’re reading a book this long sometimes you need a summary. I thought that I was mixing characters together because this book takes span over several decades worth of trials and tribulations.

I am currently on page 550 of the book and I was a little jumbled turns out I was right on page !!

This is my first Ken Follett book and it will definitely not be my last !!
