Cathedral of the Sea has been described as an “epic novel” and USA Today claims that for those who enjoyed Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth , might enjoy this latest work by Ildefonso Falcones.
Just to give a bit of description, courtesy of USA Today: “It twists and turns through war, women and the Spanish Inquisition. Feudal-age history is ever-present, and some of the words used by author Ildefonso Falcones, a lawyer living in Barcelona, reflect the culture of old Catalonia. For example, Arnau's brother is named Joan, and one of his enemies is Genis Puig.”
Dutton Adult is the publisher, and it finishes at 624 pages. “Cathedral of the Sea , Ildefonso Falcones’s mesmerizing historical novel about medieval Barcelona, was Spain’s #1 bestseller for a full year,” the product description notes.
“Cathedral of the Sea is a story of friendship and revenge, of love and war,” according to the product description.
