This book sustained my interest from start to finish and considering how long it is, that's an achievement. It's even better than the 'Pillars of the Earth'. I just wish there was a third in the series.

It's just a TV soap opera transported back to the Middle Ages and no account taken for different language, life style, beliefs. I found the main characters thoroughly boring as people, and even the working practices, such a joy in "Pillars of the Earth", were hardly developed or badly done.

Any fans of historical fiction will love this tale of love, deceit and heart-ache. Throw in some meaty action, add some pestilence and suffering, and you're ...
