Gwenda ( Nora Von Waldstatten) comes from a poor family but has the spirit and fight of a hero. Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Ralph in “World Without End” Tom Weston-Cohen as Merthin in “World Without End” Ralph becomes darker and Merthin spends a great deal of his life longing for a love he is unable to have. Ralph ( Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and Merthin ( Tom Westin-Jones) are brothers who are torn from their life of luxury and choose very different paths for themselves. Charlotte Riley as Caris in “World Without End” She is intrigued with science, wants to be a doctor and wonder aloud why she has to marry at all.
Even as a young girl, Caris rebels against what’s expected of her. She shadows Mattie ( Indira Varma) – the local healer – who challenges old-fashioned beliefs about healing. (At least those of us lucky enough to live in “first world” countries).Ĭaris ( Charlotte Riley) is a young girl at the beginning of the series. The central characters go through huge life-changes and face challenges that – I’m happy to say – most of us probably don’t have to face these days.
It’s much more than the things I listed above. “World Without End” is a story that revolves around four main characters from Kingsbridge and the ways in which their lives change over the years. After all, much of what went on during the 1300s is speculation, at best. You may have to suspend your disbelief a little if you’re a history buff. The story is engaging, satisfying and remarkable. Not having read the novel I’m unclear on what differences there may be after its transition to screen. If you need a little bit of excitement to entice you well – there are epic battles and equally epic romances, gay monks and lesbian nuns having clandestine affairs, an evil Queen Mother, witch trials, ongoing theological debates and convoluted mysteries. It can be difficult to capture the depth of a novel a challenge to find the same pace and ability to build character. Ken Follett’s much-loved novel “World Without End” was made into a mini-series.
