Catalonia.It has everything...Inquistion, love, hatred, loyalty & betrayal. The protagonist is not a perfect guy, his foibles will make him even more real to readers. The importance of the Catholic church to a community as well as to a country is paramount to this story as we follow the building of the "peoples" church. Hours will slip by as you become more and more involved in this novel. It is a must read. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/693661?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
