Published In: United Kingdom, 04 June 1992
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.

About the Author

5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 22/03/2011

This is an amazing tale following the histories of five families who lived in and around Salisbury. Having visited this area last October, everything is so real and the events that are covered by Rutherford from Neolithic times to the present seem probable. The writer has obviously done lots of research to make this a remarkable historical novel. It is a huge read but each chapter covers a different period so is very manageable.

4 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 20/08/2008

After reading Sarum, I went on researching more information on the Druids and various other facts mentioned in the book. It was a great read.

I really enjoy the way that the author keeps you interested in the historical facts by blending them with generational families that you want to find out about.

I did read the hard cover with larger words, so the paperback may be a bit more diffcult read.

Overall, like most of his Rutherfurds books - a great pleasure.
