I've read the book but, (so far) only skimmed the miniseries. It kind of bothered me because while the book certainly had rape in it, but the miniseries is even worse. (Gwenda was sold but never raped by her father, Caris was never married to Elfric, and Godric never had a thing for his cousin.) I'm a much bigger fan of its predecessor, Pillars of the Earth and its accompanying miniseries.

Also, I'm confused. Wasn't it Richard III that they found in a car park?
