World Without End by Ken Follett6/4/2023 While Merthin aspires to be a master builder (and eventually to remodel the Kingsbridge cathedral), Ralph tries to regain the family position by serving the Lord of Shiring and becoming a knight. Merthin and Ralph, the two sons of a disgraced knight, have very different personalities and ambitions. The story centers around the lives of several young people. World without End is set in the same fictional medieval town of Kingsbridge, and although the main characters are all descendants from those in the previous novel, it’s not really necessary to have the background of the first novel to enjoy the second. When I posted about Ken Follett’s historical novel The Pillars of the Earth a few weeks ago, I mentioned that I would soon be reading World without End, the sequel set in fourteenth century England.
