About this listen

The towering story of five families through 100 centuries of turmoil, tyranny, passion and prosperity from Edward Rutherfurd, the author of London, Russka and New York.

In a novel of extraordinary richness the whole sweep of British civilisation unfolds through the story of one place, Salisbury, from beyond recorded time to the present day. The landscape - as old as time itself - shapes the destinies of the five families.

The Wilsons and the Shockleys, locked in a cycle of revenge and rivalry for more than 400 years. The Masons, who pour their inspired love of stone into the creation of Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral. The Porters, descended from a young Roman soldier in exile. And the aristocratic Norman Godefrois, who will fall to the very bottom of the social ladder before their fortunes revive.

This wonderful book describes thousands of years of life in England from stone age to modern times. It has a wealth of historical information and details brought to life by the stories of generations of local families. It is engaging told and thoroughly enjoyable.

Rich historical novel

I enjoyed the book; I did get bored in places, but considering I'm not that into history, that's high praise. Some of it was more story and some of it was more history and I particularly liked the beginning.

Excellent and worth the time

An incredible story which gives a wonderful insight into the history of Britain. I’m planning a trip to discover ‘Old Sarum.’

What a story!

The whole history of our island centred on Sarum, beautifully narrated by Roger Davies. Compelling, and its length and the time devoted to listening are well worth the effort!

A wonderfully narrated saga
