Circle of Days

De: Ken Follett

Narrado por: Richard Armitage

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

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 our age: Stonehenge.

Follett never fails

Great listen. I loved the character development and story line. It was a very vivid story that kept me up through the night.

Great story

I have long loved the stories weaved by Follett. I enjoy the way he tells a story along with history. I enjoyed listening to the story, since I typically have only read the books. I would recommend

Another winner

A very good read. Complex characters and I learned allot about daily life and social norms during this time.

Not my Favorite Follett Novel

I was excited to read Ken Follett's new novel as he is one of my favorite authors. I have just visited Stonehenge so this was exciting as well. This novel dragged on a bit and perhaps the stone moving concept just wasn't enough to hold my interest. I'm still a fan of Follett and will always read his new novels!

Ken’s books are always awesome!

This was a beautifully written book by Ken. I’ve read most of this books and I hope this will be a new series, he does characters so well in this, you really feel like you’re there and some of them are your friends. When I read his book I’m taken to a second life and I really like this.
Now I’m troubled finding a new book to follow this great journey and that’s always hard. I read an average a book every 10 days and this one was my favorite one in a few years.

Thanks Ken, looking forward to the next one, hope it’s not too long of a wait.

Well Done!!

The story was well thought out. I listened straight through to the end. It was a bit formulaic -- but I got a vivid idea of how people might have lived around 3000 BC.

Ken Follett nails it again!

Call me a little biased but some of my favorite books are the kings bridge series and I am such a big fan of Follett I have been waiting for months for this to be released and it was worth the wait. Follett did not disappoint. It’s a beautiful story and I couldn’t turn it off once I started it.
Thank you sir for another remarkable job!!

Disappointed Fan of Ken Follett

The story overall was reasonably good. Not as good as his other historical fiction. But I did like how he had imagined the building process. The social and action story lines were “predictable” and anti-climatic. And I found he focused too much detail on the sexual encounters of his characters, both heterosexual and homosexual. He was far too graphic in his story lines and it wasn’t needed to understand the characters and their emotions.

Another great Follett book

It reminded me of pillars of the earth. I enjoyed his speculation about how the different tribes worked together and against each other.

Ken Follett knocks it out of the park again

I didn’t want to stop listening. Great historical fiction. Not as good as pillars of the earth but pretty close.
