An epic novel of England focuses on a family living on the southern coast and spans the period from the Norman conquest to the nineteenth century.
Edward Rutherford, master of the huge, panoramic historical novel, again takes England for his subject, concentrating this time on the New Forest district of southern England. Tracing its history from the Saxons and Normans in 1099 to the mannered social climate of the early 1800s, he combines story and characters to illuminate an evocative and important region in the story of England.
