At the Edge of the World? 3500 BC–AD 1603 by Simon Schama

4.0

Listened to the audiobook.
Really entertaining history book. Sometimes I felt it focused a bit too much on royalty and there was barely anything about the lives of the common folk, but as a broad history it was great. The writer is often able to capture the essence of a figure or an event with brevity and wit, that made for a very enjoyable read.
