World Without End - Ken Follett

Review - After Reading "Pillars of the Earth" I could not wait to read this one and purchased World Without End as soon as it was released. From the very first chapter I was captured by this book and immediately entered into the world of medieval Britain and into the lives of ordinary people living and working in towns and villages.

"World Without End" has many of the themes of “pillars of the Earth”, but with a new building project being one of the story-lines, Follett makes this book feel fresh and new. This book is a long read and has a thousand plus pages, but the characters are interesting and you get a real sense of their personalities and their lives.

You need not have read “Pillars of the Earth” to understand “World Without End” since this book is set two hundred years later and Follett does an exceptional job of referring back to his earlier work. However for those of you that have read and enjoyed “Pillars of the Earth”, it is fair to say in my opinion you will absolutely love this and will no doubt find yourself reading this book at every opportunity. written by Amy Walker - Hampshire

Synopsis - On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two men killed. As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day. Ken Follett's masterful epic "The Pillars of the Earth" enchanted millions of readers with its compelling drama of war, passion and family conflict set around the building of a cathedral. Now "World Without End" takes readers back to medieval Kingsbridge two centuries later, as the men, women and children of the city once again grapple with the devastating sweep of historical change.
