Based on exhaustive research by the military historian John Chandler, this novel portrays the story of Salisbury from beyond recorded time to the present day. The landscape shapes the destinies of five fictional families depicted against real people and events throughout the centuries. These lives mirror the social and political forces that shaped Britain in a grand panorama, so deftly done that fiction becomes a tool for the better understanding of the sweep of British history.
