A thoroughly immersive read and a remarkable feat of imagination, Cathedral
tells a sweeping story about obsession, mysticism, art, and earthly desire in
gripping prose. It deftly combines historical fiction and a tale of adventure
and intrigue.
At the center of this story is the Cathedral. Its design and construction in the
13th and 14th centuries in the Rhineland town of Hagenburg unites a vast array
of unforgettable characters whose fortunes are inseparable from the shifting
political factions and economic interests vying for supremacy. From the bishop
to his treasurer to local merchants and lowly stonecutters, everyone, even the
town’s Jewish denizens, is implicated and affected by the slow rise of
Hagenburg’s Cathedral, which in no way enforces morality or charity. Around
this narrative center, Ben Hopkins has constructed his own monumental edifice, a
novel that is rich with the vicissitudes of mercantilism, politics, religion,
and human enterprise.
