WORLD WITHOUT END

Written by: Ken Follett

Submitted By: Ann Madonna

This is not exactly a sequel to Pillars of the Earth because it occurs about 180 years later but it's set in Kingsbridge and concerns decendants of the original families. Carris and Merthin are the central characters and they live through many of the major events of the day including the Black Death, the war in France etc. The book show the power and hypocracy of the Medieval Church and the difficulties that ordinary people had in coping with life.
