Spire The

William Golding's architectural masterpiece follows Dean Jocelin's obsessive vision to build an impossible spire atop his medieval cathedral. As the tower rises, so does the psychological tension—foundations crack, faith wavers, and ambition spirals into something far darker. Golding dissects human pride and spiritual mania with the same unflinching eye he brought to Lord of the Flies. Perfect for readers who love literary fiction that probes the dangerous intersection of faith, obsession, and hubris.
