London: The Novel

London: The Novel

â€œA TOUR DE FORCE . . . London tracks the history of the English capital from the days of the Celts until the present time.Â . . . Breathtaking.â€â€”The Orlando Sentinel

A master of epic historical fiction, Edward Rutherford gives us a sweeping novel of London, a glorious pageant spanning two thousand years. He brings this vibrant city's long and noble history alive through his saga of ever-shifting fortunes, fates, and intrigues of a half-dozen families, from the age of Julius Caesar to the twentieth century. Generation after generation, these families embody the passion, struggle, wealth, and verve of the greatest city in the Old World.

Praise for London

â€œRemarkable . . . The invasion by Julius Caesarâ€™s legions in 54 B.C. . . . The rise of chivalry and the Crusades . . . The building of the Globe theatre . . . and the coming of the Industrial Revolution. . . . What a delightful way to get the feel of London and of English history. . . . We witness first-hand the lust of Henry VIII. We overhear Geoffrey Chaucer deciding to write The Canterbury Tales. . . . Each episode is a punchy tale made up of bite-size chunks ending in tiny cliffhangers.â€â€”The New York Times

â€œHold-your-breath suspense, buccaneering adventure, and passionate tales of love and war.â€â€”The Times (London)

â€œFascinating . . . A sprawling epic.â€â€”San Francisco Chronicle
