About this listen
The historical saga that has enthralled millions of fans, Ken Follett's Kingsbridge series continues with World Without End.
On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two men killed.
As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day.
Ken Follett’s masterful epic The Pillars of the Earth enchanted millions of readers with its compelling drama of war, passion and family conflict set around the building of a cathedral. World Without End takes readers to medieval Kingsbridge two centuries later, as the men, women and children of the city once again grapple with the devastating sweep of historical change.
World Without End is followed by the third of Ken Follett's Kingsbridge novels, A Column of Fire.

I liked how the author jumped the centuries and followed the descendants of Jack 'Master Builder' and Anthony 'Prior' while bringing in new characters.
Now starting book 3.

One of my favourite books

An excellent, intriguing, densely-plotted novel with well drawn characters makes for addictive listening so if you're short on time, choose another book until you have the leisure to give it your full attention.
I've given it four, rather than five stars as the narrator, who is in the main excellent, has some rather odd pronunciations at times which I find really annoying - but that's probably a very personal thing.
Well worth the price and the time it will take you to listen to it.
