Revue de presse :
"Sculpted and fluid... the international bestseller appears now in an impressively graceful translation which captures beautifully the archaic and lyrical tone of the narrative... Its beauty lies in its vivd exposition of the complexities of a bygone society" (Independent on Sunday)
"Falcones's intricately plotted novel rests on meticulous research... the ambitious yarn binds you into its thrall - a bold work of imagination, which pays homage to lives gone by as well as to the great church itself" (Daily Express)
"Turns on legal and financial manoeuvres rarely found in a historical novel. Passionate in explaning 14th century Barcelona, [Falcones] draws convincing pictures of its architecture and culture, right down to the basics such as the sewage stream... an exciting, very readable adventure novel, enriched by realistic descriptions of medieval life, work, finance and politics" (Independent)
"A powerful historical saga set in 14th century Barcelona that spans slavery, serfdom and anti-Semitism, friendship and thwarted love" (Choice (Book of the Month))

A spell-binding drama of love, war, greed and revenge in medieval Barcelona...
A young serf in fourteenth century Spain, Arnau is on the run from his feudal lord. Through famine, plague and thwarted love he struggles to earn his freedom in the shadow of the mighty Cathedral of the Sea: a magnificent church being built by the humblest citizens of the city.
Arnau's fortunes begin to turn when King Pedro makes him a baron in reward for his courage in battle. But his new-found wealth excites the jealousy of his friends, who begin to plot against him, with devastating consequences.
