World Without End Follett, Ken

In 1989, Follett astonished the literary world with "The Pillars of the Earth," a sweeping epic novel set in 12th-century England that centers on the building of a cathedral, and the hundreds of lives it affects. This sequel takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries later. A novel of majesty and power.--"Chicago Sun-Times."

From the Publisher:
An anticipated sequel to The Pillars of the Earth is set two centuries after the building of the elaborate Gothic cathedral in Kingsbridge, where its prior finds himself at the center of a web of ambition and revenge that places the city at a crossroad of commerce, medicine and architecture. Reprint.

Annotation:
Eighteen years after the publication of THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, bestselling author Ken Follet has finally crafted the long-anticipated sequel. WORLD WITHOUT END returns to the town of Knightsbridge, but nearly two centuries have passed. The glorious Gothic cathedral featured in PILLARS OF THE EARTH once again serves as the backdrop for this sweeping historical tale of people at the dawn of a new age.
