Publisher Comments:

The brand-new selection from Oprah's Book Club!

The spellbinding epic set in twelfth-century England, The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of the lives entwined in the building of the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has ever known — and a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother.

Review:

"A seesaw of tension...impeccable pacing...action, intrigue, violence and passion....A novel that entertains, instructs and satisfies on a grand scale!" Publishers Weekly

Review:

"An extraordinary epic buttressed by suspense...a monumental masterpiece...a towering triumph from a major talent!" Booklist

Review:

"Touches all human emotions...truly a novel to get lost in." Cosmopolitan

Review:

"A novel of majesty and power....Will hold you, fascinate you, surround you." Chicago Sun-Times

Review:

"A towering tale...There's murder, arson, treachery, torture, love, and lust...A good time can be had by all." New York Daily News

Synopsis:

As a new age dawns in England's twelfth century, the building of a mighty Gothic cathedral sets the stage for a story of intrigue and power, revenge and betrayal.

Synopsis:

This historical epic is set in 12th-century England and tells the story of Philip, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known, and those who become intimately involved in the herculean effort.

i totally agree w/ trix !! that book rocked my sox off and ill never forget it !! i read the whole book in a week !! its 1000+ pages but its WORTH IT ALL THE WAY !! I do suggest that you dont let any 16- kids read it though.... its very "adult-ish" if you know what i mean... anyway i will never forget this book and its my all time favorite (except maybe the 2nd book, "World Without End" it's as great but Pillars may beat it :P)

READ IT !!!! I GUARANTEE YOU WILL -LOVE- THIS BOOK !!!!! I CANT THINK OF ANYONE WHO WOULD HATE IT SERIOUSLY !!! REEEAAADDD ITTTT !!!!!
