5.0

I find it hard to articulate quite how much I love this book. The fact that Follet hired eight history professors to correct any mistakes just summarises quite how thoughtful he was in writing this book. It is just so rich in history, romance, destruction, loss, life, joy. 

The characters were unbelievably loveable; Maud, Ethel, Billy, Gus, Rosa-  Follet exquisitely creates these realistic and vastly diverse personalities. 

I have no words. I just loved every single page and will recommend it to every human I know until I die.
