Synopsis
In a time of civil war, famine and religious strife, there rises a magnificent Cathedral in Kingsbridge. Against this backdrop, lives entwine: Tom, the master builder, Aliena, the noblewoman, Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, Jack, the artist in stone and Ellen, the woman from the forest who casts a curse. At once, this is a sensuous and enduring love story and an epic that shines with the fierce spirit of a passionate age.
My Thoughts
In my opinion, this book started out quite flat. Only when we get to the second part does it get interesting..then you can't put it down as there are multiple cases and happenings that intertwine into one as you get to the end. It's a masterpiece just like Oprah said (that's how I learned about this book, from Oprah)..for those of you history lovers, it's a must read..but don't worry, it's not all history..it's actually a love story really..enjoy!
