Picking up where Fall of Giants, the first novel in the extraordinary Century Trilogy, left off, Winter of the World follows its five interrelated families--American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh--through a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the great dramas of World War II, and into the beginning of the long Cold War.
Carla von Ulrich, born of German and English parents, finds her life engulfed by the Nazi tide until daring to commit a deed of great courage and heartbreak. American brothers Woody and Chuck Dewar, each with a secret, take separate paths to momentous events, one in Washington, the other in the bloody jungles of the Pacific. English student Lloyd Williams discovers in the crucible of the Spanish Civil War that he must fight Communism just as hard as Fascism. Daisy Peshkov, a driven social climber, cares only for popularity and the fast set until war transforms her life, while her cousin Volodya carves out a position in Soviet intelligence that will affect not only this war but also the war to come.
The story is narrated by the children of the main characters of the first book. We know what is happening with them, because they are still in our story, they just don't get the main role. Everything I said about the first book is also true for the second one in the trilogy.
The nail polish is from the same LE from Essence as it was for the first book. This one is Hunt Me If You Can from Vampire's Love LE and it's black with silver glitter. Unfortunately you can't see the glitter because it seems that my top coat somehow eats the glitter so the nail polish looks black. You must look hard to see the glitter. But it's clearly visible in the bottle and it was also visible before I put on the top coat. Strange.
Have a great day!
