A world without end

Overview of the book The events of World Without End take place in the same town of Kingsbridge, after two centuries of the city's inhabitants finishing building the magnificent Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. The cathedral and the monastery once again became at the heart of a network of love and hate, greed, pride, ambition, and revenge, but this sequel is standalone. This time, men and women of an unusual group of characters find themselves at a crossroads of new ideas — about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where supporters of old ways fiercely fight those with progressive minds, plots and tension quickly reach a boiling point against a backdrop of a devastating catastrophe.
