June 7 and July 19, 2024, Book Clubs: 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett

 After literally YEARS of Tiffany begging, "Please, please? Can we PLEASE read 'The Pillars of the Earth,' Tony"?...

...It's finally happening.

Michelle and Tony have joined forces to bring us "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. From Amazon.com:

The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul...of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame...and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother.  

A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of 12th century England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece.

NOTE: This book is 1008 pages, so please plan to read about halfway through by Michelle's meeting in June, when we'll discuss the first half. Please plan to discuss the rest by Tony's meeting.
