Dans ce court récit, écrit sur le vif au printemps 2019, Ken Follett raconte l'émotion qui l'a étreint lorsqu'il a appris le drame qui frappait Notre-Dame de Paris. Il revient sur l'histoire de la cathédrale, de sa construction au rôle qu'elle a joué dans le destin de la nation française. Il évoque aussi l'influence qu'elle a exercée sur l'écriture des Piliers de la Terre, certainement le plus populaire de ses romans. Un hommage vibrant à ce monument français porté par la voix grave de Patrick Descamps, lecteur du premier tome des "Piliers de la Terre".
