      Even the forest grows new oaks When I see a book by Edward Rutherfurd, the effects are the same as when I see a creation by Ken Follett I believe that most die hard lovers of Historical Fiction have placed these two writers on a high pedestal Rutherfurd s books aren t heavy on the romance element like Fol...

      The format of this book is like all of Rutherford s others historical fiction This story takes place in a location that is very near Sarum the subject of his int l best selling breakout book , but its emphasis is much different the focus is on how the forest in this area affects the people that live there and vice versa You get wafts of the big events e.g Queen Elizabeth and her Golden Age, the Spanish inquisition but everyday details concern how deers and oak trees mature I love Ruther The f

      Whereas London The Novel focuses on, obviously, the city of London, The Forest focuses on the development of England as a whole over the centuries Much of English history concerned the independent hamlets and regions that felt very little connection to the King and to London until the past few hundred years It was fun to read about the small agrarian communities with their nearby abbeys and giant expanses of forest land Many things influenced these small communities as England became a m Whereas London The

      It is rare when I read a book, that I wish for it to end for other reasons that I want to find out what happens to the characters I have come to know and like This book, however, I just wished to end so I could get it over with and move on to something better.The book is composed of several short stories taking place in and around the New Forrest, telling stories about the people living there and following various families as they evolve through the span of the novel some 900 years.This idea It is rare when I rea

      This is my favorite of the ones about England It spans a large area with a lot of folklore, witchcraft, and strong females.

      I discovered this gem at my local Half Price Books I had just finished The Princes of Ireland, one of hisrecent books, and, even though I knew nothing about the area in which he was writing, it was hard not to fall in love with the characters For once, Rutherford deviates from tales of the British upper crust to the forest folk farmers, charcoal makers and even monks, and I found t...
