World Without End (Kingsbridge, #2)
by

A great story. So long it should be called "Book without End" but by the time you reach the end, you don't want to finish.
The characters, both the good guys and the bad guys, are well developed; none is perfectly good or bad. One calamity after another, some of nature (the plague) but most of human cause, beset the capable few who struggle to get things done.
NOTE: You can read this either before or after "Pillars of the Earth." Both books take place in the same locale, but two hundred years apart; there is no plot overlap.

I've got this on my near-term radar but will confess to pushing it off due to its intimidating length. I did love Pillars though so have high expectations...
