About this ebook

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

From a bestselling author of epic fiction comes the deeply human story of one of the world’s greatest mysteries: the building of Stonehenge.

"Superb." —Lee Childs, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

A FLINT MINER WITH A GIFT
Seft, a talented flint miner, walks the Great Plain in the high summer heat, to witness the rituals that signal the start of a new year. He is there to trade his stone at the Midsummer Fair, and to find Neen, the girl he loves. Her family lives in prosperity and offer Seft an escape from his brutish father and brothers within their herder community.

A PRIESTESS WHO BELIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE
Joia, Neen’s sister, is a priestess with a vision and an unmatched ability to lead. As a child, she watches the Midsummer ceremony, enthralled, and dreams of a miraculous new monument, raised from the biggest stones in the world. But trouble is brewing among the hills and woodlands of the Great Plain.

A MONUMENT THAT WILL DEFINE A CIVILIZATION
Joia’s vision of a great stone circle, assembled by the divided tribes of the Plain, will inspire Seft and become their life’s work. But as drought ravages the earth, mistrust grows between the herders, farmers and woodlanders—and an act of savage violence leads to open warfare ...

Truly ambitious in scope, Circle of Days invites you to join master storyteller Ken Follett in exploring one of the greatest mysteries of all time.

A bit different but still enjoyable read about the possibility of Stonehenge origin. Biggest complaint: it's NOT 752 pages as claimed on description, only 357. I love a good long read, especially from Mr Follett so be forewarned.

Disappointing read. Kept waiting for the book to take a turn for the better but it never happened. I loved Pillars of the Earth series which is why I had such expectations for Circle of Days

I've read many Ken Follett books - this was my first disappointment. The story and characters were so basic that it was hard to believe this was a Follett book.
