I loved it! This was the first book in the 2 part series. The set in the 12th century. It is the story of the building of Kingsborough Cathedral. The drama involves royalty, religious leaders, townspeople. peasants and children.
The stories span hundreds of years, but the theme and the adventure are the same story. I was hooked and read both very long books back to back.

This book is long and filled with details that men might like and women don't need. But, even so...it is a good read. Pointed out the futility of life in those days.
