À propos de cet audio

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.

Editorial Review

Explore one of the greatest megalithic mysteries
Following a fictional timeline surrounding the creation of Stonehenge, Circle of Days paints a story of two interconnected characters: Joia, a priestess whose visions predict the birth of the massive stone circle; and Seft, a love-struck flint miner looking for a better life. Master storyteller Ken Follet consistently demonstrates an attention to detail, especially in his in-depth character development. Coupled with Richard Armitage, one of the best narrators in the game, I was transported back to the BCE era as these monuments are constructed, as love becomes complicated and as war begin to rampage across the Great Plain. Circle of Days is truly an unforgettable listen.—Nicole R., Audible Editor

This was a slow Novel for me unlike the other Follett novels to date. It seemed a lot was left unsaid. Narration was superb however.

Not as Good as the Other Three

Set in prehistoric Britain, specifically during the Neolithic period around 2500 BCE, and centers on the construction of the monument we know as Stonehenge. The story unfolds on the Great Plain, a landscape divided by the tribal groups.

This one was the most anticipated book of the year, for me (along with “My Friends”, by Fredrik Backman and “The Ekements”, by John Boyne).

I pre-ordered a copy and even purchased the audiobook narrated by Richard Armitage, which I paired with the ebook.
Listening and reading at the same time is quite an experience, especially with Armitage’s narration.
I was captivated from the beginning by the storytelling and I could have read this book in one sitting, if I had started reading it on a Saturday morning or Sunday.
As for the writing, I do not believe this was written by Follett, as the writing was too simplistic and even juvenile in some parts (but it wasn’t painful as in “Never” - the lowest rating I have ever given to Follett).
There were some similarities to “The Pillars of the Earth”, so I believe that this book was conceived by Follett, but perhaps written by a ghost writer.
Thanks to Armitage, I loved all the characters that I was supposed to love, and despised the ones I should.
The interactions and dynamics between the characters were well displayed.
I found the storyline to be very entertaining and interesting.
His narration brought everyone to life and I couldn’t have enough.
There are plenty of drama between the characters and tribes (woodlanders, herders, miners and farmers).
There are plenty moments of brutality and gory scenes, that perhaps is a bit too much for some readers.
As this is a work of fiction, I was not expecting any historical accuracy or evidence, but the creativity and speculation of the facts were quite interesting, although I thought that the language and even the attitude or way of thinking of some characters were way too modern.
The development of the story has a perfect pace, but the building of the Stonehenge happens very late in the book.
Yes, this book is not flawless, but I was completely enthralled, hence my ratings.

So enthralling!

Unlike other Follet novels…it took me a while to get into the story. Unlike other Follet novels…the characters were a little shallow. Unlike other Follet novels…the story arch was just ok. The culminating battle was more than a let down and the ending seemed like an afterthought.
It held my interest because Follet is that good even when he’s not at his best but I wouldn’t put this one at the top of the list.

Still Follet…but…

I’ve read every one of his books, and they’ve all been outstanding—richly detailed, deeply researched, and written with real mastery. But this one feels completely off course. The depth and precision that usually define his work are missing, replaced by an oddly oversimplified tone. It’s hard to believe it was truly authored by him; one might wonder if his young grandchildren had access to his computer or if artificial intelligence played a role. While I remain a fan of his overall body of work, I must say this one was disappointing.

Not Ken Follett's usual style

The book goes straight to romance without an other character building. I have restarted listening to the book several times. I’m not ready for a Follett length love affair!

Sad harlequin romance type writing
