A masterpiece of breathtaking scope -- a brilliantly conceived epic novel that traces the entire turbulent course of English history

This ebook edition features a new introduction by the author in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of Sarum.

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, Sarum is a keen tale of struggle and adventure, a profound human drama, and a magnificent work of sheer storytelling.

Praise for Sarum

"Bursts with action, encyclopedic in historic detail... supremely well crafted and a delight to read." -- Chicago Tribune

"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." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"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." -- Chicago Sun-Times

"[Edward] Rutherfurd holds us all consistently intrigued. In Sarum he has created a splendid novel that will bring many hours of diversified reading pleasure." -- The Plain Dealer

"A richly imagined vision of history, written with genuine delight." -- San Francisco Chronicle

"Rutherfurd is at his best... His storytelling skills are substantial... One of the best books of the season." -- Kansas City Star

"Absorbing... a superior historical novel... This blockbuster saga should appeal to discriminating readers, since Rutherfurd has an excellent grasp of his subject and a compelling story to tell." -- Publishers Weekly
