I’ve had this book for years, always wanted to read it, but was intimidated by the length of it! It took me about two weeks to finish it and now I wish it were longer! Fortunately there are two more books in the series so I’ll pick up book two soon. The Pillars of the Earth is an epic, spellbinding, historical fiction masterpiece. Follett has an amazing ability to bring his characters to life. Whenever I sat down to read or listen I felt captivated and immersed in medieval England.
Pillars is the story of Philip, a devout monk driven to build the grandest house of God in the world . . . of Tom Builder, the mason who dreams of building a cathedral . . of the beautiful, resourceful Lady Aliena, . . . and of a conflict between good and evil that turns church against state, brother against brother, and monks against Bishops. This book is a treasure.
