World
Without End
by Ken Follett
Nearly
two decades ago, Ken Follett took us on a fascinated journey
into 12th-century England to witness the building of a cathedral
in his epic novel The Pillars of the Earth.
Now,
in World Without End, he revisits the town of Kingsbridge.
Two centuries have passed and the cathedral is complete,
but the townspeople find themselves battling something even
greater than injustice or greed. It was the ultimate enemy
of this time period, often referred to as the Black Death.
Ken Follett fans will not be disappointed with this engrossing
novel.
