The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroads of new ideas--about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human race--the Black Death. Three years in the writing and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End is a "well-researched, beautifully detailed portrait of the late Middle Ages" (The Washington Post) that once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft. 410 0$aKingsbridge 606 $aBlack Death--England--Fiction 606 $aGreat Britain--History--14th century--Fiction 610 $aFiction 610 $aEngland 615 0$aBlack Death--England--Fiction. 615 0$aGreat Britain--History--14th century--Fiction. 676 $a823/.914 700 $aFollett$b Ken$0448188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910160341503321 996 $aWorld Without End$92809412 997 $aUNINA
