The Last Hundred Years Trilogy by Jane Smiley begins with the book Some Luck which I reviewed in January. Last night I finished reading Early Warning which is the second book in the series. In this second book. the children that were the main focus of the first book, are having children, who are growing up, and by the end are having their own families. The book begins with a lot of people feeling paranoia about the possibility of a nuclear bomb landing in their back year and next, moves through Vietnam. One of the grandchildren of the original couple in the first book is killed in Vietnam. The book relates one character's near miss brush with the cult of Jim Jones. And continues while various family members divorce, come out of the closet, get cancer, have affairs, have mental breakdowns and some die. I am really enjoying this series and have downloaded the third one on to my kindle to begin this pm. Please click on the author's name and book title above to follow the links to more information. And enjoy the video that follows.
