This exceptional novel, set in a 14th-century Italian monastery, reveals monastic life and thought as it tells the gripping story of a series of frightening murders. Paperback

An epic novel that tells the story of the people involved in the construction of a cathedral. More than a thousand pages, and when I first finished it, I wanted to open it right back up to the beginning. Paperback; also available in audio cassette.
