Durchaus spannend, kann aber qualitativ nicht gegen "Die Säulen der Erde" anstinken.
Schnitzer sind auch drin, zB war die Syphilis (Harter Schanker, französische Krankheit) zu der Zeit, in der die Geschichte spielt, noch unbekannt. Auch sprachlich vermisse ich ein wenig mehr Sorgfalt, zB finde ich das Wort "Sex" in diesem zeitlichen Kontext nicht recht passend etc.
