He doesn’t perform a History lecture, but builds his protagonists around the depicted era with compassion, respect and foresight. ![]() In my opinion, what differentiates his writing is the focus he places on the characters. And who can write better than Ken Follett who owns the crown in this field… ‘’World Without End’’ is the second installment in Follett’s Kingsbridge series and what a world it is….Set during one of the most turbulent times in European History, amidst the beginning of the Hundred Years’ War and the nightmare of the Black Death that swept over the continent causing the deaths of an unthinkable percentage of the population, it is one more example of why Historical Fiction is the Genre of the Genres when done right. ![]() “Whether I’ve been good or bad, I don’t think God will be fooled by a last-minute change of heart.” Title: World Without End (Kingsbridge, #2)ĭate of Publication: October 3rd 2008 (first published October 4th 2007) ![]()
