MORE about the book:
From the bestselling author Ken Follett, The Evening and the Morning is a historical epic that will end where The Pillars of the Earth begins.
A TIME OF CONFLICT
It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages, and England faces attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Life is hard, and those with power wield it harshly, bending justice according to their will - often in conflict with the king. With his grip on the country fragile and with no clear rule of law, chaos and bloodshed reign.
THREE LIVES INTERTWINED
Into this uncertain world three people come to the fore: a young boatbuilder, who dreams of a better future when a devastating Viking raid shatters the life that he and the woman he loves hoped for; a Norman noblewoman, who follows her beloved husband across the sea to a new land only to find her life there shockingly different; and a capable monk at Shiring Abbey, who dreams of transforming his humble abbey into a centre of learning admired throughout Europe.
THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE
Now, with England at the dawn of the Middle Ages, these three people will each come into dangerous conflict with a ruthless bishop, who will do anything to increase his wealth and power, in an epic tale of ambition and rivalry, death and birth, and love and hate.
Thirty years ago we were introduced to Kingsbridge in The Pillars of the Earth, and now in this masterful prequel international bestseller Ken Follett will take us on a journey into a rich past, which will end where his masterpiece begins.

I can't put the book down! I start reading it in the evening, and the next thing I know it's dawning. From Hungary
Best way to read this book. Start in the evening, and read through to the morning.
I have two words for you Ken Follett...........You Rock!
I am Arpa Ghosh from India. I have read the series in its entirety and I am overwhelmed. What impressed me was the amalgamation of history, human interest stories and the raciness of the thriller mode. The women are magnificent. Their enterprise, initiative and sheer courage, all made so plausible by the realistic narration and the lethal logic of the thriller, make a bygone age come alive. Thank you Mr Follett for using your substantial gift 🎁 for writing and research so judiciously.
I love this book, I’m over 700 pages in and the story has really drawn me in. Ken you are an amazing writer. I actually read Pillars of the Earth about 20 years ago and I was completely delighted with it. Thank you Ken for your marvelous creation. I will re-read Pillars of the Earth and all the other books in the Knights Bridge collection 👏🥰
I've not read a Follett book since 2020. I need to get back to it. The Kingsbridge series was such a joy. I need to catch up.
I am a Brazilian 🇧🇷 , living in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱. This is really a great book (almost as good as Pillars of the Earth, my favorite book ever!) Was very nice to see Kingsbridge slowly grow and grow. The only problem is that I am feeling a little bit orphan, now that I finish the book. Maybe it is time to read the Pillars again! Saludos from the south of the world 🌎 ;-)
Agreed Marcelo! rs. Because of this book, I read The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End again. :)
Watching from Denmark. Just looooooove Ken Follets writing
New Zealand. I was gifted The Armour of Light (latest book) for Christmas, and was so impressed that I immediately bought the first 4 books. Just completed the second. Some of the most compelling writing I’ve read in a long time.
I actually started this book and it took me just under 2 years to finish it. I really loved the plot. It was very intriguing (no spoilers)
I am now reading the pillars of the earth and i must i am loving its depth 100 pages in. This i will continue to read rather than take breaks. Great novel!
Mr. Follett, you are an amazing talent. Wonderful, hard to put down and historically accurate!
Thank you
I'm from Denmark and I love all your books.
I watched from Brazil. I am an author of historical fiction and I love all the research that is noticeable in the construction of Ken Follet's narratives. In "The evening and the morning", he takes us to see how the construction of a small bridge can change an entire society.
I loved.

I went another route with this one. I just signed myself up on Audible and my first purchase was ...... you guessed it!!! Every single time I get into my car, the very first thing I do is turn this audio book on. I read alot, and I find myself being very critical of authors who don't generate an emotional response in me, but with Ken Follett, I know in advance that I will go through an "emotional roller coaster" .... sometimes happy moments, but mostly just gut-wrenching sorrow. Such a reliable author who always finds a way to portray real characters while at the same time keeping you so involved in a wonderful story. Winston might be the worst one yet!!!
Checking in from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
I've just finished this marvellous book and so enjoyed living in those times. You take the reader back with you to that age. Thank you.
From Canada. I read pillars of the earth a few years ago and I recently bought the Evening and the Morning. You delve into characters from an almost alien and unrelatable time yet bring them to life like I'm reading about my fellow contemporaries or myself.. I guess we don't change that much regardless of when we exist. When I read your fictional books I learn facts from the past like I would when reading Arthurian or canterbury tales. You cited jean gimpel firstly in your resources for pillars of the earth! You're amazing I thank you for your writing. I really need to buy your book about notre Dame. You are my second favourite writer of all time after Tolkien himself. Thank you.
I’m from a little town in Ohio. I was introduced to Pillars of the Earth while living in Jamaica. Each book in this series is a beautiful read. I just started the Fall of Giants century trilogy and know that it will be a wonderful adventure.
From New Zealand, just finished the evening and the morning and it was as good as I knew it would be, thankyou for keeping me company and a difficult time.
I felt the same 🤣 I’ve read your kingsbridge series and was immediately transported and invested in them. Couldn’t put any of them down! I wasn’t able to read a story for years prior and actually I haven’t been able to read one since. (Too many atrocities going on here in ‘real’ life) Adore your books and swear I’ve been in your company at some point?! I’m from Salisbury and was taken by surprise to be reading about it. World without end was the first book that I brought as I couldn’t walk out of the shop without it, but I did read pillars first. Never disappointed. (Except I never want the book to end!)
The Evening and the Morning is such an eye-opening, exciting and precious story! Thank you, Ken Follett, for creating these giant historical masterpieces! Love from Hungary
Love the Kingsbridge series.. Syirin Ibrahim, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Wisconsin in the US. I love these books. Absolutely engrossing, enthralling and more than worth the time taken to devour.
I discovered Pillars in high school, and it's been my favorite book since. I even wrote my final thesis on it... I own the whole series in hard back, and have read them many times!!! I want my kids to fall in love with them, when they are older of course. Such AMAZING stories. I read, and suddenly I can see, feel, hear, and smell everything he writes.
Almost finished the novel. First rate as usual from Mr. Follett, from Maine USA.
fantastic epic serirs
Love all the books about Kingsbridge. Are reading Pillars of Earth for the second time now. After just finishing your latest book about Kingsbridge.
Love the history.

Just about finished with the Evening and the Morning -- now I need to go back and re-read the others again!
I just finished The Evening and The Morning and now, (for the 1st time), I need to read books 1-3!!!!
Im in love with all of your books, currently rereading all of them. especially love your 2 trilogies. Lots of love from austria❤❤❤
I was with a group in Normandy because of the museums and beaches because of D-day. We stayed overnight in Bayeux. We were able to enter the museum an hour before closing time and have a quiet look at the carpet. There was hardly anyone inside. Very special to be able to experience this
I am a huge, huge fan in South Africa. I've been reading your novels since I was in high school and you've remained one of my favourite authors. I'm looking forward to reading this and Never, you have a sensational way of writing.
Hi! I am Sandra Salmon from Erie, Pennsylvania. USA.
I had the Evening and the Morning on order at my favorite bookstore. As soon as it was released, I ran and purchased it! What a page turner! I just finished it. I cried in the end when Ragna finds happiness. The book is just as brilliant as The Pillars of the Earth. You are so talented in making the reader live the story!
Thank you so much. I devour your books.
I am presently reading the Trilogy "Fall of Giants" I am devouring this series also. You have enriched my life more than I can express!
The Kingsbridge Series was the BEST EVER!
I am a retired Reading Specialist. Wish I could have read your books while teaching. My daughter read The Pillars of the Earth in college. She is almost 50 and talks highly of your prose. Best Refards

Good book, if he decides to write a 5th book in the series i hope he sets it between 1750 and 1820
Just finished reading this book. I enjoyed it!
You are a legend Ken! Thankyou
just about to start reading the book.... from Buenos Aires ,Argentina
hope I can enjoy it as I did the others
as a medievalist aficionado I admire and enjoy your work so much! thanks a lot !
Jeff Gagne-Longmont Co. the book is outstanding!
I have read pillars of the earth, and world without end; but this one is my favorite I am from Mexico
Huge fan. Thank you, sir.
I'm a little late to the series--currently reading "World Without End." My first impression is that Follett's writing has greatly improved since the first book in the series. Looking forward to the rest!
His wallpaper is the same as in Longbourne in the 1995 version of Pride & Prejudice. But yes, just read the book. Have read the entire series. Probably this one is my fav.
I am Frank from the Netherlands.
Great that there is a 4th in this series. I like fiction and non-fiction books about the Middle Ages.
My compliments for your books
How did I end up seeing this video? By accident!! LOL!!
I saw The Pillars of The Earth series many years ago and I loved it! 💗
This video makes my heart ❤️ happy!!
I want to see the series again, read your books and visit the museum in Oslo with the amazing Viking boat and art!!
Thank you for inspiring me Mr Follett!
I’m from The Netherlands 🌷🇳🇱 🌷
Thank you so much for your work Mr. Follet. Your books are like drugs to me. Once you start reading them you just can't finnish. Greetings from Czech Republic. 🇨🇿
Just finished The Evening and the Morning! It was sooo good....but I knew it would be. I read "Pillars" when it came out and could barely wait for the next books to come. Been waiting for THIS book for about a year, I think. It was worth the wait! Enjoyed every page.....what a wonderful story! I believe I've read everything you have written! And am now waiting for the next in this series! I am from Ohio in the U.S.
Fantastic book, read it in a week, loved the enchantment of this emotional story!
Shmuel from Israel. What a great book! love to read about early medieval years
I just read A column of fire and I loved it. I have read the other 2 books of Kingsbridge too and I loved those too. You are my most favourite writer and I always recommend your books to other people. I am from The Netherlands.
Iam angolan, watch from Luanda 🇦🇴
I’m so glad you’re writer because otherwise you would definitely be in prison if we are lucky! What kind a brain can create characters like William Hamleigh and the others that came before and after him? I was introduced to this feeling called hate with them, thanks to them! Hahah. I just loved the video, you are the secret behind many things I know, it’s just amazing to know a few secrets from you too!
Your books are a gift for the humanity. I’m a big fan from Brazil, currently living in Paris 🙂
I've always wanted the book. I was lucky enough to find a second hand book of the pillars of the earth and world without end on an online shop. I couldn't afford any book that cost more than a hundred pesos😭

Just finished the book. Excellent amazing/ engaging story telling. I read the Pillars of the Earth 30 plus years ago, also thoroughly engaging. Just a comment: I feel the ending would have been more impactful if Alain was found out to be Edgar's son ( the two sexual encounters could have been so close as to not know). Ragna would likely be even more adamant (more doubt/tension) over having her baby taken if there was a chance it was Edgar"s; and a real resemblance to Edgar wasn't made til Edgar appears at the end when Alain is three. You likely thought of this, curious why you chose not to implement it. A bit too trite perhaps.
But then Edgar wouldn't have been the "other option" instead of staying with the baby. Edgar would have stayed, they all would have stayed.

When will you make a movie.?
I'm still mad at Ken for what he did to Sylvie.
guess he changed the monks name to aldred at some point
Polish subisitle please!
I'm searching for an _honest_ review of The Armor of Light before I buy it. I thought Evening And The Morning was much better than Columns, which is basically like a Dan Brown Tom Clancy type novel, it wasn't very good. And Never was awful. Ken, in my opinion, ruined what could've been a wonderful Century Trilogy with books 2 & 3. Especially book 3, it was just partisan folly. So I'm waiting before I buy another Follett book and he's my favorite author. Pillars is the best book I've ever read, but with Ken's later novels he's just gotten too political, it became more about his own politics than the story. This is why interest for his newer works is WAY down. I even question if it's really Ken even writing this stuff, like Never, but I'm sure it is.
