If you enjoyed "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett, then I think you would enjoy this book as well. I have read it several times with great enjoyment.
From the back cover:
"From the Benedictine monasteries of England to the sacred tombs of darkest Egypt, from the ancient temples of Jerusalem to the great cities of Italy, France, and Hungary, here is a riveting saga of medieval times told through the lives of the passionate men and women who envisioned and engineered history's most triumphantand timeless monuments to humanity-the great cathedrals and castles of early Europe."
This is a wonderful story with great characters. Highly recommended!
