My favourite historical thriller book is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
Who is an extremely talented writer whose ability to immerse readers in vivid, expansive landscapes is something to behold. But his greatest strength is creating great, heroistic, well-developed characters the reader can’t help but care about.
This book is about more than a cathedral.
It’s about dreams, love, parenthood, religion, and war. It’s filled with action and packed with emotion. I would go into greater detail, but I don’t want to spoil anything. If you’re a fan of epic novels featuring captivating characters, then you owe it to yourself to read this book.
