Ken Follett has two novels (”The Pillars of the Earth” and “World Without End”) which deal with 12th Century and 14th Century England and they are both incredible. “World Without End” does an amazing job of showing what the Black Death did to labor, wages and prices.*********************
I'm going to pick up both. Thanks.

Just to warn you, they are both quite long (about a thousand pages each), but they read quickly and are excellent.

You will NOT be sorry!
