About this product

Product Information

A masterpiece of breathtaking scope, from the Ice Age to the present day, Sarum traces the entire turbulent course of English history through the epic saga of 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 Godfreys, who will fall to the very bottom of the social ladder before their fortunes revive. As their fates and fortunes intertwine over the course of the centuries, through struggle and adventure, their greater destinies offer a fascinating glimpse into the future.

  • I love this book.

    Having just finished reading “Russka “by the same author, I couldn’t wait to start Sarum, and I wasn’t disappointed. Great story and great history. If you are a bit of a history nut like myself. then you will enjoy these books. The historical details and plots are great. I usually read in bed at night and I didn’t get a lot of sleep! It’s that good!!

  • Sarum

    Absolutely excellent. I have read others by this author and Sarum doesn't fail to thrill. I purchased the book as used, however it has to be one of the best used books I've ever had. It doesn't look as if it's ever been read before and is in a very good condition. And for such a reasonable price, I am very pleased all round.

  • An excellent read, and plenty of it.

    This is a rather amazing book based on Salisbury (Sarum),, but giving the history of our island from the earliest of times. Historically accurate but made easy to read by setting in various family contexts. A great read.

  • Sarum

    I'm halfway through reading this book and can't put it down . The history of how Britain came about , religion changed and where parts of British law originated and much more . Very interesting to put it mildly and unputdownable . I highly recommend this book .

  • Sarum is Salisbury.

    I just found it intriguing to read an explanation as to how England separated from Europe and the reactions of people of those times.

  • Fascinating historical novel

    This is one of the best I have read in years. It is very long but I just had to keep reading. I've recommended it to all my friends. Is our history from caveman to 1980s and worry every minute teasing it.
