This rich tapestry weaves a compelling saga of five families—the Wilsons, the Masons, the family of Porteus, the Shockleys, and the Godfreys—who reflect the changing character of Britain. As their fates and fortunes intertwine over the course of the centuries, their greater destinies offer a fascinating glimpse into the future. An absorbing historical chronicle,
is a keen tale of struggle and adventure, a profound human drama, and a magnificent work of sheer storytelling.
“Bursts with action, encyclopedic in historic detail . . . supremely well crafted and a delight to read.”
“A fascinating journey . . . a clear yet sparkling window upon history with a superb narrative, so perfectly balanced between history and fiction that it clears away the mists of time from antiquity, giving the reader the impression that events over a span of ten centuries occurred only yesterday.”
“Strong . . . appealing . . . I haven’t read so satisfactory a saga in years . . . in fact, perhaps not ever before. . . . It gives you not only history but comfort.”
“[Edward] Rutherfurd holds us all consistently intrigued. In
he has created a splendid novel that will bring many hours of diversified reading pleasure.”
“A richly imagined vision of history, written with genuine delight.”
