The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

Five Stars

Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth is the definition of an epic epoch. Not only is this book centered around a specific time period--The Middle Ages--during the building of the cathedrals in Europe, it is a stunning volume of intrigue, scandal, and history-based story-telling. Do not be discouraged by the almost 1,000 page length. This book is one that consumes as you consume it.

This book contains graphic language, violence, and sexual content. Be discerning.
