english_lady03's review against another edition
4.0
I finished it!
This is a LOOONG book. More than 1100 pages, but its worth it. Really its a series of short stories spanning over 1500 years, all of which tie into Glastonbury Abbey in some way.
The most interesting part was the interpretation of the Holy Grail, and what it really means.
The author wrote a similar book to this about Scotland which has been republished as a series, but this one is well worth reading as well. Don;t be put off by the length: this can be read in smaller chunks. Its well researched too, which is always a plus.

Too many characters, too little plot. The novel spans centuries and has only one through line: the location. Several stories that might have great potential were they more developed were left prematurely, and ultimately the book proved an unsatisfying read.
