Cathedral by Ben Hopkins
5.0
Most historical fiction focus on particular person(s) and incident(s), but this ensemble epic spanning multiple generations, takes things up to the next level, by subtly incorporating the difficult theme of "the divine invisible hand of God" through time, making this a riveting read.
The author's background of screenwriting, helps in making the prose very digestible for readers, though the underlying style and tone of "serial television writing" does seep in, and may not appeal as much with literature purists. A shout out of 4 ½ stars rating rounded up!
