MORE about the book:
From the bestselling author Ken Follett, The Evening and the Morning is a historical epic that will end where The Pillars of the Earth begins.
A TIME OF CONFLICT
It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages, and England faces attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Life is hard, and those with power wield it harshly, bending justice according to their will - often in conflict with the king. With his grip on the country fragile and with no clear rule of law, chaos and bloodshed reign.
THREE LIVES INTERTWINED
Into this uncertain world three people come to the fore: a young boatbuilder, who dreams of a better future when a devastating Viking raid shatters the life that he and the woman he loves hoped for; a Norman noblewoman, who follows her beloved husband across the sea to a new land only to find her life there shockingly different; and a capable monk at Shiring Abbey, who dreams of transforming his humble abbey into a centre of learning admired throughout Europe.
THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE
Now, with England at the dawn of the Middle Ages, these three people will each come into dangerous conflict with a ruthless bishop, who will do anything to increase his wealth and power, in an epic tale of ambition and rivalry, death and birth, and love and hate.
Thirty years ago we were introduced to Kingsbridge in The Pillars of the Earth, and now in this masterful prequel international bestseller Ken Follett will take us on a journey into a rich past, which will end where his masterpiece begins.

Wonderful conversation from two of my favourites

I have just finished reading this book and I couldn’t put it down, but I didn’t want it to end. It’s fabulous

Two of my fave authors, having a conversation... I've gone to heaven!

About getting it wrong: you're quite right. I'm Dutch and I was once reading a novel, written by a British author (Alistair MacLean, can't remember the book). There was a car chase in the Netherlands; the main character saw that the car had Amsterdam number plates. I stopped reading at that point, because it didn't make any sense. From number plates in the Netherlands there's no way you can deduct the region the car is from. So you are quite right that little details you get wrong can put the reader off. It spoiled the whole book. I have to admit I've never read any of Kates' books. But I've read most of Ken's books. The problem with that is that I feel I'm demented. I can't remember the whole storyline of "The Pillars of the Earth". I have to reread it.
