The Pillars of the Earth
NAL, 2007
Great story
+ Enticing novel indeed
I'm only part way into reading this book - but it's one of those that I can't put down. Not only is it well written, but it is also a fascinating study of the period and a well developed cast of characters. I'm thoroughly enjoying Pillars of the Earth.
