In fact, it is to convince the Germans that a major Allied assault on Yugoslavia is imminent and thus draw troops from the Italian front. Helped - and sometimes hindered - by a trio of Commando sergeants and a blind folk singer and his sister, the three need all the courage, darling and special techniques to accomplish their dual objective. -
Beginning in 1135 and concluding forty years later, this is an epic, unputdownable tale of treachery, politics, civil war, medieval life and the building of a cathedral. Follett has created the most memorable characters in fiction since Gone With The Wind. Tom, the master builder; Aliena, the noblewoman reduced to poverty - a lady who fights back! Philip, the Prior of Kingsbridge; Jack, the artist in stone and Ellen, the mysterious woman who dwells in the forest and her curse that reverberates down the decades. These characters and many more are wonderfully alive in a well-researched narrative that never dives in sickly romance. We have recommended this book to many - all of whom have come back in search of more books by Follett. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/evening-morning-ken-follett/ -

The discovery of a vast collection of unpublished manuscripts in a Midlands sale room has cleared up the mystery. The tale of the arch-cad is told by Flashman himself. In this first instalment of 'The Flashman Papers' he describes his early career as a soldier, duellist, lover, imposter, coward and hero, from his entry into the exclusive company of Lord Cardigan's hussars to his exile in India, his adventures as a secret agent in Afghanistan, his scandalous behaviour in bed and battle and his truly foulest hour when he took part in the historic disaster of the Retreat from Kabul. He can still hit fouler, stoop lower, lie smoother, deceive further and above all, run faster than anyone else!
