Sarum

by Edward Rutherfurd

Sarum is an epic story that tells the history of the Salisbury region in particular and England in general from the end of the Ice Age through the current period. It traces the story of several interconnected local families over the centuries as their fortunes rise and fall with the vagaries of time. It is also an excellent overview of the major historical events and eras of England.
