Niech stanie się światłość

Follett's detailed portrayal of medieval life is captivating, but I wonder how he navigates the line between fact and fiction to keep the story engaging.

The conflicts over religion and power in the story seem surprisingly resonant with modern debates. How did these themes influence your connection to the characters?

Starting just before the Viking invasions offers a rich backdrop. I'm curious whether the setting was driven by historical interest or narrative opportunity.
