Staff Recommendation: The Pillars of the Earth

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

As a historical fiction lover, I was a little skeptical of this book, as Follett had only written bestselling mysteries before this epic novel. But I soon found that this book is not only well researched, but also totally absorbing. Follett creates a fascinating cast of characters whose stories combine to give a total picture of life in Medieval England. Interesting and almost impossible to put down.
