"Being a big fan of Edward Rutherford, and living in the New Forest, I couldn't wait to sit down with this one. Each chapter is so full of depth colour, drama and link so well together. In fact each chapter deserves a novel in its own right. I now travel around the Forest with new understanding. The characters are so 'real' its hard to believe that most are made up! Another hit Edward....Keep them coming please " Martin, New Forest. Buy now.
