Elizabeth B. (Cattriona) - reviewed on 11/16/2011 + 200 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

This was a well-researched story of a medieval English cathedral and the people involved in the building, from the prior to the bishop to the mason and his family, through several generations. The architecture details were interesting without being overwhelming. At nearly 1000 pages, this is an epic read, and things do drag a bit after the first half -- you wish they'd just build the cathedral and be done -- but things pick up again closer to the end. Follett skillfully mixes real historical characters and facts into his tale, making for an interesting read. Recommended.
