Title: Wish I'd known
Product review: I wish I'd known about the very graphic and violent sex scenes, not to mention the anachronistic language in this book. I love historical fiction and was not expecting "f-bombs" among other descriptive vulgarities. It was a frustrating read because the characters are great and the story compelling with a unique framework (cathedral building), yet every instance of swearing immediately pulled me out of the time and reminded me that this is just a book. A good editor, it seems, would have recommended far less gratuitous sex, gore and vulgarity. Too bad Mr. Follett lacked such editorial guidance! I can't recommend the book.
