Circle of Days by Ken Follett

Follett delivers again and proves why he’s a master storyteller.

This time, Follett takes us back to 2500 BC England, where the tribes are defined by their professions. They are herders, farmer, miners, and woodsmen. When the original temple is destroyed by a neighbouring tribe, a young priestess, Joia, is determined to rebuild using stone. As alliances and betrayals dodge the different characters through a life-altering drought, Jolia, and her brother-in-law, Seft, plan to use the building of the temple as a way to appease the gods.

This is a fantastic story that proposes a theory of how ancient man may have built Stonehenge, which stands today as an ageless tribute to mankind’s ingenuity and resourcefulness.
