I know that this is Oprah's latest book club pick, but I read it in high school and absolutely loved it, so this seemed like a good time to recommend it as a crossover title. This book was given to me by friends of the family who also loved one of my favorite series. I took it back to boarding school with me and started reading it while I was meant to be studying for my Mock A-Levels. Needless to say I failed the exams miserably, but what is important is that I devoured this 1,000 page book in less than two days (hence the exam failing!). Set in 12th Century England in the midst of the civil war between Stephen and Matilda, and the subsequent reign of Henry II (think the murder of St. Thomas a Becket) this epic tale evolves around the building of a Cathedral (which is a tremendous amount more fascinating than it sounds). With wonderful characters such as Prior Philip, Tom Builder, Jack, and Aliena it is a tale of love and revenge, adventure and betrayal. This is an absolute must read for all. --Antonia S. <-- Back to Antonia's Recommendations |
