World Without End

Note from the librarian: This is an alternative cover version.

Two centuries after the residents of Kingsbridge completed construction of the magnificent Gothic cathedral that served as the centerpiece of The Pillars of the Earth, World Without End is set in the same town. Though this sequel stands alone, the cathedral and the priory are once again at the heart of a web of love and hatred, greed and pride, ambition and retaliation. This time, a remarkable group of men and women find themselves at a nexus of novel concepts on justice, trade, architecture, and medicine. The intrigue and tension in a society where traditionalists and innovative thinkers are at odds furiously escalate during the devastation caused by the Black Death, the worst natural tragedy to ever affect humankind.
