Cathedral by Nelson De Mille

A>NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS CHOICE>

An expansive fictional epic addressing themes of art, religion and power in the mode of Ken Follett or Umberto Eco. Hopkins's compelling and descriptive tale will leave readers eager for more.--Shelf Awareness>(Starred Review)

The Cathedral. A grandiose edifice seemingly with a life of its own in the center of the medieval Rhineland town of Hagenburg. It will decide the fortunes of men and women, and fill wide-eyed children with dreams that are as extravagant as its own awe-inspiring form. Over almost two centuries, the Cathedral's design and construction unites a vast array of unforgettable characters whose destinies are inseparable from the shifting political factions and economic interests vying for supremacy. Immersive, atmospheric, entertaining, Cathedral tells a sweeping story about obsession, mysticism, art, and earthly desire, combining historical fiction with a gripping tale of adventure and intrigue.

Hopkins weaves together a multitude of voices to examine the relationship between medieval worship and the era's politics and economics. The resulting epic is both sweeping and human.--The New Yorker

A clever (even postmodern?) commentary on the ironies of history.--Alida Becker, The New York Times Book Review
