The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett

4.0

---

No offense to Follett, but he's written 4 Kingsbridge books by now, and everyone of them follows the same general outline, the 2 main characters are always in love but not allowed to be together because of reasons. Despite this repetition on a theme, his books are always consistently enjoyable. As a prequel it's no real surprise that the main village turns out to be Kingsbridge, but another look into a different era of Europe's development is interesting and enjoyable to dive back into as Follett takes us into a decade just after the Dark Ages and shows readers life as brutish and short as it was in those times.
