I knew this was a masterpiece but I hadn't tried to read it until now. I barely remember the 80s movie based on the story. I was attracted by its mix of dark ages historic background and its true crime vibes.
After reading it I can say it is a perfectly crafted novel that combines the engagement of a thriller with much deeper history, psychology and philosophy.
The pace of the writing is based on the daily routines of a monk abbey gives a real sense of immersion into the medieval universe 🕍
A must-read
