World Without End

In 1989, KEN FOLLETT astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel, set in twelfth- century England, that centered on the building of a cathedral and the men, women, and children whose lives it changed for- ever. Critics were overwhelmed—“it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you” (Chicago Tribune)—and readers ever since have hoped for a sequel. At last, it is here....
Two centuries after the townspeople of Kingsbridge finished building their exquisite Gothic cathedral, four children slip into the forest and witness a killing—an event that will braid their lives together by ambition, love, greed, and revenge.
