After Lord of the Flies my favourite Golding book - complex and rich with that medieval sense of place and stone that is so appealing, combined with human failing. ( )

This is probably heresy (so to speak), but I like this novel even more than Lord of the Flies. ( )

The Spire

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0571064922, Hardcover)

The vision that drives Dean Jocelin to construct an immense new spire above his cathedral tests the limits of all who surround him. The foundationless stone pillars shriek and the earth beneath them heaves under the structure’s weight as the Dean’s will weighs down his collapsing faith.
