Description
The Forest by Edward Rutherfurd is a sweeping epic that brings to life the ancient New Forest of England. This remarkable novel weaves together centuries of history and legend, from the mysterious killing of King William Rufus to treachery and witchcraft, smuggling and poaching. The story spans generations, exploring the complex web of feuds, wars, loyalties and passions that shaped the nation's heritage. From the tranquil woods to the bustling streets of Bath, Rutherfurd masterfully recreates a bygone era, where well-born ladies and lowly woodsmen, sailors and merchants, all played their part in a tale of crime and consequence. The novel's climax shatters the decorous society of Jane Austen's time, with repercussions that continue to resonate through the ages. A rich tapestry of characters and events, The Forest is a compelling and immersive read that explores the enduring power of nature and the human spirit.
