    Pillars of the Earch is a powerful historical fiction based on 12th Century England.

    A masterful saga weaved with colorful events and characters connected through the building of a Goethic cathedral in the medieval town of Kingsbridge. The characters are engaging and historical research is excellent.

    The cathedral takes 30 years to build and anything that can go wrong does. It is full of political interplay, weaved with the age old battle of good and evil. The storytelling is memorable, full of action, adventure, betrayal, suspense, and romance. By the end of the reading you feel you know the main characters, Tom, Prior Phillip, Aliena, Jack, Richard, “Witch” Ellen, William of Harnleigh, Waleran Bigod, along with a host of supporting characters.

    It may keep you up at night, because it is too good to put down. It will grasp your imagination with unforgettable storytelling.

    I absolutely loves this book! One of my favorites! It is a long read, but easy to get into. It takes you into a new life, a new world of ways we do not know. The story is very colorful and allows the reader to get into the characters and feel apart of the world they live in.
    A must read!!
