A review by rogerjpatterson
Cathedral by Ben Hopkins

4.0

This novel traded narrative power for the messiness of real life, and the bargain was not a good one. The characters were rich and realistic, the situations credible, and the stories a credible reflection of what life may well have been like in the 14th century, but in the end there was no story to center the narrative. The result was somewhat unsatisfying in the end.

On a second reading, the result is more satisfying. This takes some attention to mine its worth, but is worthwhile
