Excellent Book
The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett is an excellent historical fiction and addition to the Kingsbridge series. This installment is a prequel to the current books at the books sets the reader smack at the end of the dark ages for England at 997CE.
The trio of stories and intertwining is exquisite and what Follette does best. There were heroes, villains, goodness overcoming evil, romance, suspense, backstabbing, and twists thrown in for good measure.
What I loved the most was the wonderful literary descriptions of landscapes, buildings, culture, society, and day to day lives of the people at this time. I learned so much about society and England during the dark ages to add to my previous knowledge. It was definitely a great book. I loved every minute of it (but I love the series as well).
Excellent 5/5 stars
