Giant thousand page novel about 14th century England society & the life of a small town -- really a continuation of the story Follett started in The Pillars of the Earth, about building a cathedral in the same town about a century prior. I find Follett's books a little thin in terms of depth of character and long on plot -- so sometimes the longer books like this are a bit tedious -- I'm ready to be through with them by the time I finish.

Anyway, this was a pretty good book -- really just a study in the various aspects of life in England 700 years ago, and that stuff was provocative & interesting -- made me think.

But given that this is a thousand page sequel to another thousand page novel, even one that Oprah likes, I'm pretty sure that not too many people will actually read the thing, which seems fine to me.
