Waterstones Says

Inspired by the devastating fire that engulfed the iconic cathedral of Notre Dame, Ken Follett tells the fascinating story of the structure that meant so much to so many. Intertwining historical scholarship with his own intensely personal connection to Notre Dame, the bestselling author of The Pillars of the Earth provides the perfect tribute to a building beloved by the world.   


`The wonderful cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, one of the greatest achievements of European civilization, was on fire. The sight dazed and disturbed us profoundly. I was on the edge of tears. Something priceless was dying in front of our eyes. The feeling was bewildering, as if the earth was shaking' 

In this short, spellbinding book, international bestselling author Ken Follett describes the emotions that gripped him when he learned about the fire that threatened to destroy one of the greatest cathedrals in the world - the Notre-Dame de Paris. Follett then tells the story of the cathedral, from its construction to the role it has played across time and history, and he reveals the influence that the Notre-Dame had upon cathedrals around the world and on the writing of one of Follett's most famous and beloved novels, The Pillars of the Earth.

Ken Follett will donate his proceeds from this book to the charity La Fondation du Patrimoine.
