Description

In 1866, misfortune strikes at the  exclusive Windfield School. A pupil drowns  in a strange incident involving a little circle  of kids. The sinking and its aftermath triggers a  spiraling group of treachery that may cover three  decades and entwine many loves, From the  exclusive men's membership and brothels that focus on every  dark wish of London's top classes for the dazzling  ballrooms and mahogany-paneled fits of the  manipulators of the planet's prosperity, Ken Follett  conjures up a sensational variety of contrasts. This  breathtaking book shows a household splintered by lust,  bound by a distributed heritage, men and ladies swept  toward a risky orgasm where greed, given by the  shocking reality of the child's death, must certanly be halted, or  not only one guy's desires, but those of the country,  will expire,
