A review by mitchk
Cathedral: Ben Hopkins by Ben Hopkins

challenging informative medium-paced

4.5

Really loved this - it was a bit left field for me, but I enjoyed the immersive nature of it. Based around the building of a cathedral in thirteenth century Germany it was chaotic, ripe with a cacophony of noises and smells, with politics and family feuds, with power struggles and love triangles. It was huge and sprawling, messy and layered - historical fiction that really does take you to the real, non sanitised version of life!
