Review:
This book was great, I just couldn't put it down!! I picked it up in the Glasgow Airport outlet of WH Smith as a holiday read. It tells the story of the holy grail but in two different times. The stories run parallel to one another throughout the book but avoid confusion through some great story telling!
The two women Alice and Alias, both have a journey to take in order to protect the Grail from those that would use it for evil. Both women are unaware of their task or its importance, at the outset, but soon it becomes apparent how vital their success is.
This book easily rivals The Da Vinci Code in its exploration of the history and myth surrounding the Grail. The stories are fast moving keeping the reader captivated and eager to read on.
Descriptions of the areas in the stories are even accompanied by a 'Grail Walk' photos and descriptions of each of the places visited in the stories with even the option of doing the walk yourself, should you find yourself in the area!!!
Loved this book:
5/5
