Reviews

While not as strong a piece of historical fiction as something by John Jakes or even Diana Gabaldon, Follett does a great job of keeping the pages turning. This kept me reading, even if some of the events have a slight reek of “we have got to stop meeting like this!”. Mack is not your typical serf, nor is Lizzie your typical lady.
