About this listen
In Sarum, Edward Rutherfurd weaves a compelling saga of five English families whose fates become intertwined over the course of centuries. While each family has its own distinct characteristics, the successive generations reflect the changing character of Britain. We become drawn not only into the fortunes of the individual family members, but also the larger destinies of each family line.
Meticulously researched and epic in scope, Sarum covers the entire sweep of English civilization: from the early hunters and farmers, the creation of Stonehenge, the dawn of Christianity, and the Black Death; through the Reformation, the wars in America, the Industrial Age, and the Victorian social reforms; up through the World War II invasion of Normandy and the modern-day concerns of a once-preeminent empire.

Storytelling at its best
An epic blend of history and fiction flowing through generational families as time moves over the evolution of England.
Absolutely enthralling story and very well narrated. A long listen but well worth the time. Rutherfurd is a master of fiction, interwoven with historical fact that makes for an overall excellent audible book. Six stars!!

Where historical fiction meets historical reality
It's a very long book. It's quite good but it does tend to drag on at some points. It's a book about a geographical location throughout the ages and the family trees as they go. Worth a read

Brilliant Story
I could not stop listening to this story. It is so engaging that I managed to cope with the hopelessly bad recording and irritating narration
Surely, it's possible to step away from the mic if you're about to swallow etc and was it recorded in many different locations? The volume and background change every few hours and are distracting.
