The Forest by Edward Rutherfurd
4.0
I picked up this book because I actually live in The New Forest so I figured it might be an interesting addition to my reading pile.
I is well written but saying it’s long would be an understatement. However, because it spans such a long period (1000 years) each chapter is more like a short story or novella so I read it one piece at a time. It took me a while but I got through it.
His prose is quite lyrical at times and he even has sections where you’re hearing the perspective of the wildlife. All in all, it gave me an enhanced appreciation of the area where I am so lucky to live.
