Fall of Giant

Fall of Giant, Ken Follet

I’m reading this book, only read 106 pages, at the moment, around 982; the first situation is located in Wales, Great Britain. The writer relates us two levels in a same family. A level is in the young brother who works as miner and he should take the big decision when they are problems mine. The girl has a good head to performer the earl house when the queen and king going to visit him. She’s going to organize the earl house so very well, that the king and the earl will recognize her work.
The Ethel’s father only recognize the son’s work because they think that the girl has helped the business persons when these men always live upper them. The father remembered the miner deaths because the owners don’t take the action to protect them. The girl defends her decision because she helps that they have lose some miners. After the actions that she cannot stop, she will help from her position. She hasn’t other opportunity.
It is also curious when the writer looks for the same situation in Russian, before the big Revolution of 1917. The earl is married with a Russian Princess that she want come back to Russia to live a time in her country

There, after live in Britain, she visits some factory where some person recognizes her, when some years ago, with her brother, she took a big decision about kill three persons that had stolen food to help their poor families. Grigori reminder her very well, because in those years, the family’s Tsar were the God, but now, 1914, they live another situation where they are humans and then they knows theirs positions and rights.

The mother’s Grigori also died for the Princess‘s fault, because the mother had decided that they don’t knee in front of these murderers because they also had dignity.
We’re in the first time of twentieth century. The earl, Princess and Tsar have the politic control with the help of business persons that don’t respect the human life but this low society are going to wake up and, in the first moment, they’re going to pay with their lives but the time have changed
