A really enjoyable book. Set in the 12th century in Kingsbridge, England, it revolves around the construction of a new cathedral. The main characters are the prior of the cathedral monastery, the master builder of the cathedral and his family and also the children of a deposed (?) earl.
It's been criticised because of its simplistic characterisations - the good are very good and the bad are unconscionably evil - but I really enjoyed it none-the-less. Not too challenging and not all that surprising, but well written and paced.
