Heard about Follet for many years…Anyone who’s a lover of fiction should read this.Like the cathedral that anchors this book, Follet is a master craftsman. Victories are rarely straightforward, reversals are mandatory, complemented with unexpected twists and turns, irrevocably bad things occur…
If there’s a complaint to be had it’s that perhaps the story is too ably constructed…Like a cathedral’s Mason observing the constructed cathedral, a veteran reader can see the seams, the cuttings, and how the stones will fit.
Admittedly, it’s a small lament that’s more my problem than his…if I was still an avid reader of fiction (though this has a strong dollop of history) I’d set upon a course of reading many of Follet’s books…
