Summary
Pillars of Light is a powerful and moving novel about the triumph of the human spirit against all the odds. It will delight fans of Philippa Gregory, Ken Follett and Diana Gabaldon.
In the Syrian city of Akka, Nathanael, a young Jewish doctor, and a Muslim girl called Zohra are about to fall in love. But Saladin's army has just taken Jerusalem, and soon their own city will be engulfed by war.
Meanwhile in England, John Savage, a foundling boy, runs away from his cruel life in a priory with the Moor, a mysterious man driven by a dream of perfection. They join a band of conmen travelling through the English countryside faking religious miracles for cash, until they are recruited in Richard the Lionheart's army and sent to regain the Latin Kingdom from the infidel. Akka awaits. It will be the site of the greatest - and cruellest - siege of its time. But even in the midst of war, lovers find ways to make transactions of beauty.

struggled
I live Jane Johnson and have listened to many of her books. gosh I struggled with this one. I'm never one to give up on a book especially an author that I like bur with this I kept waiting for something to happen , maybe its because there was not really a main character to cling to all the time, it seemed to jump from one to the next but we did not get to know them and value them or be able to feel their sorrows and joys. I finished it but it was hard work

The bloodthirstiness
The story was compelling, but for me, too much gruesome-ness! I have enjoyed this authors books a lot before, but this one was not up to the same level, in my opinion.
And I didn’t enjoy the reader’s English with the dropped Ts and mispronunciation of names.

Pillars Of Light
The most incredible story. Written with phenomenal knowledge and insight to history, geography, religion, and the way of war in the 12 Century. Completely engrossing.
