Our view
“Edge of Eternity” closes the “Century Trilogy” with a family saga that turns the politics of the 1960s and 70s into fiction. At more than eleven hundred pages it is an informative and moving read for those who like to see public events through private lives. Some readers who loved the first two volumes miss a single great conflict to hold the story together, and some feel a good number of scenes could have gone.
