Author: Ken Follett

I’ve had this one on my bookshelf for a long time. It’s almost 1000 pages so I really wanted to be in the right mood for it and that mood hadn’t struck me yet. I recently rearranged my bookshelf from the largest book down to the smallest and this ended up being the first in the row.

I don’t know why I waited so long to read it; I liked all the characters and, having watched Downton Abbey, I could see where everyone fit into the many social circles described in the book.

This is the first book in a trilogy; I’ve already checked for book two at the library but it is currently on loan so I’ll have to wait.
