Loved Ken Follett ever since Pillars of the Earth and enjoyed this one more than some of his others…Most of the characters are so easy to emphasise with and there are so many parallels with today by the way the poor are continually crushed by the rich and powerful.
As ever it’s meticulously and painstakingly researched, giving a real flavour of the period. Totally agree with the first review and find some of the negatives in some others more than a little puzzling.
