Description
Spanning nearly a thousand years, this sweeping historical novel brings the New Forest of southern England vividly to life through the intertwined stories of aristocrats, villagers, monks, rebels, and ambitious outsiders. From the mysterious death of William the Conqueror’s son and the threat of the Spanish Armada to the turmoil of the Civil War and the transformations of the Victorian age, generations of fictional families confront love, faith, betrayal, injustice, and changing power. Rich in historical detail and alive with the contrasting beauty and violence of the woodland, the novel explores how a landscape can shape—and preserve—the people who inhabit it. With his signature multigenerational approach, Edward Rutherfurd turns the Forest into both setting and central character.
