This is a sequel to Follett's Pillars of the Earth, which I read years ago and loved. I've been waiting for this book for over 10 years! The book is set in medieval England and like Pillars of the Earth, features characters from the whole spectrum of medieval life. The main character designs buildings and I love learning how they built things back then! In addition to the architectural, there is romance, war, plague, and evil clergymen. It is a long book (over 1,000 pages) but I loved every moment of it!
If you like this book for the medieval stuff, do read Follett's Pillars of the Earth. If you like this book for the architecture stuff, consider reading Brunelleschi's Dome by Ross King, Cathedral by David Macaulay, and The Medieval Cathedral by William W. Lace.
