Description
“The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known . . . of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect–a man divided in his soul . . . of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame . . . and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state and brother against brother.”
Janet Dore –
I had to read this one because of the Oprah hoopla. I didn’t love it nearly as much as Oprah did, but I liked it. In addition to learning about history (Middle Ages in Europe), you become entwined in the myriad of characters. It’s a long one, so avoid it if you’re in a rush.
