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. Fiction de genre Historique Le choix des éditeurs Fiction

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

Extraordinary

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

Enjoyed the book providing a unique look into how the Danish and British worked together to help bring Germany down. I enjoyed learning about all of the characters & their contribution to the war effort from an aviation perspective. Narration was very good; sometimes you could tell when the narrator had taken a break and the sound was a little different, but it was no big deal. He did a bang up job!

Another Wonderful Follett Story!

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!

it's very simple and very basic in the process of selling the whole big picture but it is from a author that I've loved since my teenage years and then the unique story and the path of the world to the it paints is very much the redeeming virtue. I did enjoy the time to dive into the tale and I don't have any issue with saying that it was a fun experience.
