Description
The Evening and the Morning is a historical epic that marks the beginning of a new era in England. In 997 CE, the country is on the brink of change, as the grip of the king's power falters and chaos reigns. Against this backdrop, three individuals find themselves drawn into a world of conflict, ambition, and rivalry. A young boat builder's life is shattered by a devastating Viking raid, while a Norman noblewoman struggles to find her place in a new land. Meanwhile, a capable monk at Shiring Abbey has a vision for transforming his humble home into a centre of learning. As these characters' paths converge, they must navigate the treacherous world of a ruthless bishop, who will stop at nothing to increase his wealth and power. This is the prequel to Ken Follett's beloved novel, The Pillars of the Earth, and offers a rich and epic tale of love, hate, and the dawn of a new age.
