World Without End by Ken Follett – Review
World Without End by Ken Follett
A mysterious and deadly secret. A war that lasts 100 years. A book which goes on for over 1,200 pages. Follett’s latest medieval epic returns to Kingsbridge a couple of hundred years after The Pillars of the Earth told the story of the masons who built the town’s cathedral. Not all that well, as it turns out, for within the first few hundred pages the tower has collapsed and now it is the responsibility of the descendants of the architect to put everything back together while going off to fight wars, survive plagues and sire a confusing number of illicit children.
