The Pillars Of The Earth: Ken Follett

It begins with a curse, a song and a hanging and it's a story you will never forget. Beginning in 1123, this story is a historical epic surrounding the politics, the Church, the monarchy and the lives lived in the England of this period. It weaves historical events into the narrative of the fictional characters over a forty year span: Aliena, the daughter of the disgraced nobleman Earl Bartholomew; William Hamleigh from a social-climbing, ruthless family; Jack and his mother Ellen, forest dwellers; Tom Builder, the stonemason walking the roads with his family searching for his ultimate life's work and Prior Phillip of the Kingsbridge monastery and his ambition to build a beautiful cathedral. A book that can only be described as 'unputdownable'. We have sold numerous copies of this book and the customer always comes back in search of more Ken Follett.
