...I just finished reading this really great Book >
Title: The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follet.
Written in 1989, it is 983 pages of historical medieval fiction about a man, and his family, searching to complete his dream; of building a Cathedral in England in the period 1135-1174. The Time of Henry I, 4th son of William the Conqueror and his successor, King Stephen the grandson of William the conqueror. A tumultuous time in English History.
A fascinating read, especially if you want to get pointers on how to build a cathedral and to get a better understanding of how life was back then living under Kings, and THE church, about living in and around castles, surrounded by monks, priories and Earls. Was Hard to put this book down. 983 pages!!
