The Century Trilogy

Since I didn't write a review for the first two books, this short one is for all the series. The Century Trilogy follows the story of five different families, that will become more or less interrelated, living through the 20th century. From Britain to Germany, from Russia to America, the books cover the main historical events of the past century. With the eyes and actions of the characters we travel through World War I and the Russian Revolution, Nazism and World War II, the civil rights movement in America and the Cold War up until the fall of the Berlin Wall. There was obviously a lot of historical research behind these books and I think the best thing about the series is how the real historical events are intertwined with the fictional narrative and characters. If you love historical fiction, I think you can't miss this series.
