Wishing everyone a very happy beginning to 2011.
My New Year's resolution is to try and post a travel special or travel related item every day this year, along with an occasional comment on the current events of the day.
For today, I have just finished Fall of Giants (you can find it on Amazon which is on my Book Page of Getting Away) and it was great. I have long been a fan of the great spy thrillers of Follett and found this to be one of his best in historical fiction. His new book inaugurates what is to be a trio of historical novels (called the Century Trilogy) that showcases the lives of five families from all walks of life and involved in various ways with the issues of the day from the outbreak of WWI to the early 1920s and reflecting these issues over a broad geographical range, the families here being from Britain, the U.S., Russia, and Germany. If you like historical fiction, you will love this one.
