The Pillars of the Earth
by Ken Follette
Year Published:

We are reading this book for our April club meeting!
*Upon review, this book is intended for mature readers. There are scenes of the extreme violence that was common in medieval times.
Sections regarding the Church and Cathedral construction are accurate and well written. The storyline, however, seems a bit "romance novel-esc". Follette obviously has little sense of what a woman feels and/or psychologically experiences in the scenes that he depicts!
