The Forest by Edward Rutherfurd
5.0
I have to admit I am a big Edward Rutherfurd fan! I love his writing style, the amount of research he obviously does for each book, the way he weaves centuries of his characters' family history across millennia is incredible. So I am a bit biased.
The Forest is a companion book to Sarum and focuses on the area surrounding Salisbury. It centres around the Albion, Pride, Furzey, Totton, Puckle and Grockleton families and how they all intertwine over the centuries and how it all relates to the New Forest which is located along the southern coast of England.
Of course there is intrigue, a bit of smuggling, wars, family reputations won and lost, the influence of royalty and the aristocracy, petty politics and love.
The book is captivating and if you love historical fiction you will love this book and I hope all of the other tomes created by Edward Rutherfurd.
