Edge of Eternity

Ken Follett closes his Century Trilogy by following the third generation of its families from 1961, just before the Berlin Wall goes up, to the wall's fall in 1989. East German teacher Rebecca Hoffmann learns that the Stasi has been watching her for years. George Jakes, the son of a mixed-race couple, passes up corporate law to join Robert F. Kennedy's Justice Department during the civil rights struggle. Senator's grandson Cameron Dewar takes on espionage for a cause he believes in. Khrushchev aide Dimka Dvorkin is drawn in as the superpowers edge toward nuclear war, while his twin sister finds her own role. The story also takes in Vietnam, Watergate, Solidarity in Poland and the Kennedy and King assassinations.

Finance and business enablement manager Tudor Mihailescu listed it in his book recommendations as the final volume of the Century Trilogy, a series he found an absorbing mix of history and fiction.
