Book Cover: "#KenFollet's "PILLARS OF THE EARTH" "...about the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England. Set in the 12th century, the novel covers the time between the sinking of the White Ship and the murder of Thomas Becket, but focuses primarily on the Anarchy. The book traces the development of #Gothic architecture out of the preceding #Romanesque architecture, and the fortunes of the Kingsbridge priory and village against the backdrop of historical events of the time."

Day 6 :
When I read "Pillars of the Earth," the added value for me was, apart from leaning about that important period in #English history and being entertained, was learning about a major new architectural feat, the #Gothic , with lots of new vocabulary.
