Pillars of the Earth did a masterful job of illustrating the feel of a world before. The characters’ stories interconnect as they grow from childhood through to old age. The reader gets a sense of how people lived their lives and how everyday things were once accomplished. The ambitions and aspirations of the diverse array of characters are explored in depth; each with a sense of personality. Their stories are both fantastic and tragic; thrilling and full of sorrow; enthralling and profound; heartbreaking and regretful. Ken Follet takes his readers on a journey of both scandal and humility in a novel that touches to the core of human achievement. Pillars of The Earth is a master stroke of triumph.
