NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Rutherford brings England\'s New Forest to life ( The Seattle Times ) in this companion to the critically acclaimed Sarum From the time of the Norman Conquest to the present day, the New Forest, along England\'s southern coast, has remained an almost mythical place. -- The Boston Globe.
As entertaining as Sarum and Rutherford\'s other sweeping novel of British history, London.
Edward Rutherfurd is a master storyteller whose sense of place and character--both fictional and historical--is at its most vibrant in The Forest.
The feuds, wars, loyalties, and passions of many hundreds of years reach their climax in a crime that shatters the decorous society of Bath in the days of Jane Austen, whose family lived on the edge of the Forest.
The New Forest is the perfect backdrop for the families who people this epic story.
The mighty oaks of the Forest were used to build the ships for Admiral Nelson\'s navy, and the fishermen who lived in Christchurch and Lymington helped Sir Francis Drake fight off the Spanish Armada.
It is here that Saxon and Norman kings rode forth with their hunting parties, and where William the Conqueror\'s son Rufus was mysteriously killed.
