Although not a Rutherfurd book, readers may share similar interests. Does anyone know of a book set at the time of the dissolution of the monastaries, about a young monk at Beaulei Abbey who is learning to do illuminations and is sent to another monastary to warn the Abbott of the approach of Henry VIII soldiers? It was a class book in England in the 1960s and I have been searching ever since.

I have just finished reading Ken Follett's novel "Pillars of the Earth", written in 1989. It bears many similarities to Edward Rutherford's "Sarum", written in 1987. Has there been any controversy regarding this "coincidence"?

I have read Sarum twice. I like the way he wove the rise of religion into the story.
