A Dangerous fortune by Ken Follett This is a historical novel about a banking family. Not all members of the rick and powerful Pilaster family are endowed equally. Weakness, apathy and an absence of a conscious are a few of the deficits. This book explores the character’s motives, ambitions, and the lengths they undertake to achieve their goals. The inciting incident is a tragedy that has far reaching effects, but serves to define the young men’s characters. As the story advances, and the characters goals are thwarted, their individual responses set in motion a chain of events culminating in a satisfying ending. This a page turner that I read it in two sittings.
