Everything sexual is atrociously written. SA written as cute and romantic (She said no MULTIPLE TIMES) and breaking an Hymen is a myth. "Just kissing him made her wet." #MenWritinfWomen

Good work of historical fiction as one has come to expect from Follett. The storyline Is entertaining enough to get through the 1000+ pages and the story works well with the historical background. The storylines set in the three different countries are woven together skilfully. I was especially intrigued by the suffragette plot and the empowerment of Ethel. The reversal of the power dynamic with Ethel coming out on top was a high note to end the book.
