I'm torn- I think I like the story but dislike the author perhaps. His antiquated, vile chauvinism is repulsive. Follett outwardly writes each female character for what use she is being selfishly used by the men in her life. Though he doesn't write in the perspective of historical accuracy, which would include some disgust of it, but rather in a normalized way of it's what is expected and accepted.

So far I'm torn whether to love or hate this book. Perhaps I love the book but do not like the author's antiquated, chauvinistic perspective of women. He outwardly writes about every woman in this book being used for a man's selfish purpose - not in a historical, time-appropriate way, but in a normalized, as if it should be expected and accepted way. Undecided which character is the bad guy vs the good guy.
