As the novel ends, Merthin and Caris are standing at the top of Merthins tower, watching Philemon leave town. 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. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day. Good to hear that World Without End is also amazing, I have it in my reading plan for 2021. I think that I enjoyed The Evening and the Morning even more than Pillars.
