World's Winter Volume One-When World War II broke out, where would he and she go?

Winter in the World belongs to the second part of ken follett's masterpiece "Century Trilogy". The other two books are The Fall of the Giant and The Edge of Eternity.

Before reading this article, an elder sister told me that "the second one will be more cruel than the first one". So, I opened the first chapter with "fear" Suddenly, the hearty story attracted me like a magnet and made me eager to know more about him and her story.

1933, Germany resumed chaos after World War I, Walter Moday's life gradually returned to normal, and their children gradually grew up. At this time, the girl Kara 1 1 is smart and brave, and the boy Eric 14 is handsome.

The first chapter describes many scenes of their lives. I have to say that children are invisibly observing their parents' every move, and their parents' influence on their children is inseparable.

Then, Ethel and Lloyd, the illegitimate son of the "old lover Count Fitz", appeared. "The boy has a handsome face, not very tall or thin, but he looks like a movie star."

When Lloyd was bullied at school, his stepfather said, "The cleverest child in the school will definitely be picked out and bullied by the thorns in the class. So, he was taken to the boxing club to practice boxing fiercely. In the end, instead of turning to professional boxing, he chose to go to Cambridge University for further study.

1933, Germany faced Nazi Hitler's rule, and dictatorship swept through Germany. As members of the Social Democratic Party, Walter and his wife Modi are in danger.

In the United States, the 1929 Wall Street stock market crash spread to the whole upper class, and Lev seized the current situation and became a famous American aristocrat. Lev has two children, one is with his wife Olga's daughter Daisy; The other is Greg, the illegitimate son of his mistress Marga.

As a prominent figure in the whole story, in the United States, in addition to the Lev family, there is another family, the Dewar family. He has two sons: Woody and Charlie.

In Russia, Gregory Katrina has their son (Lev) Volodya and daughter Andy.

This story is very relevant. Children born in Germany, the United States, Britain, Russia and other different countries suddenly meet at a certain point in a certain line without any sense of disobedience.

In the first volume, I was particularly impressed by a girl named Daisy. She is the daughter of Leo and Olga.

She not only has her mother's beauty, but also inherits her father's cleverness. But fundamentally different from her mother, she knows exactly what she needs: status.

Although Lev became the richest man in America, his poor boy background and robber-like business mind were always judged by others. So she knows very well that she needs to enter a noble family to be respected.

She doesn't ask much of her other half, regardless of appearance, ability or money. The only thing that matters is each other's reputation and status.

The first is the wooden and honest Charlie, an old nobleman in Buffalo, USA, who finally left because of his father.

Since then, she left the United States sadly and came to England. Here, she met Lloyd from the working class. At this time, she just wanted to fly to the branch and become a phoenix, but Lloyd had fallen in love with her.

When Lloyd confessed to her, she refused: "I won't marry a socialist with nothing."

In this way, Daisy passed Lloyd by.

In order to pursue her dream position, she married Boyle at all costs, a typical rich dude, the children of British Earl Fitz and Princess Bi.

However, shortly after marriage, Boyi was found to have a lover outside.

In fact, how much I hope Lloyd can get along with Daisy and let a really good man protect and love her. But she was blinded by her eyes and pursued the inferiority brought by her family: status. She shouldn't go back to her mother's point of no return!

I really like Daisy. She is so cute, smart, brave and independent, and so kind.

Ruby once said to Lloyd, I finally know why you are not looking for a girlfriend, because you are looking for someone like your mother.

On the other hand, Ethel and Daisy are really familiar with each other in some ways.

1939 September, the brutal war officially began.

They, they, where will they go? ...

Here's what Lloyd said when he met Daisy.

(Meeting for the first time)

Lloyd: "Your friend Eva is so funny."

Daisy: "Mr. Williams, praise other girls in front of your partner when dancing!" " "

Lloyd was amused and said with a smile, "You are absolutely right. I made a mistake. I should be more gentleman. "

Lloyd: "Then you must be the American girl who gave Ruby money to go to the dentist."

Daisy: "How do you know?"

Lloyd: Ruby and I are friends.

Daisy was surprised: "Do college students here make friends with maids?"

Lloyd: "You are such a snob. My mother was a maid before she became a member of parliament. "

Daisy blushed. She hates snobbery and thinks she has nothing to do with the word snobbery. "Didn't we hit it off when we first met?"

Lloyd: "No, you think the topic of fascism is boring, but you brought a German Jewish refugee (Eva) into your home and came to England with her. You said that maids and college students were not suitable for being friends, but you paid Ruby to go to the dentist. Besides, there is no more dazzling girl than you tonight. You are the cleverest one here. "

Daisy: "Thank you for your compliment."

(second meeting. At this time, Lloyd has been fascinated by Daisy, and he likes to chat with her because her words often contain some clever jokes.

Lloyd: "I don't want to keep you too long-I just want to know something about the New Deal."

Daisy: Oh, my God, you really flatter girls. Call me when you arrive in London ... "

(Meeting for the third time)

Lloyd: "I'm glad Eva has a boyfriend. But I'm not satisfied with you and Boyd. "

Daisy: "He took me to the palace."

Lloyd: "Is that why you love him?"

Daisy: "It's not the only reason. I like most of the things he likes-parties, horse racing ... He even has his own plane. "

Lloyd: "Those are nothing at all." Give him up and be my girlfriend! "

Daisy (looking happy, but laughing at him): "You are crazy, but I like you like this."

Lloyd said in despair, "I'm serious." I have been thinking about you, even though you are the last person I should marry in this world. "

Daisy smiled again: "You are so rude. I don't know why I want to talk to you. I thought there was a sincere heart hidden under your clumsy appearance. "

Lloyd: "I'm not stupid-I only look stupid when I'm with you."

Daisy: "I believe you, but I won't marry a socialist with nothing." I can kiss a socialist, but I just want to have a taste. "

(They kiss deeply, go on)

Daisy: "All right. I didn't expect to be so happy. "

Lloyd: "It's not just happiness."
