One sentence synopsis... Following the interwoven fates of several families in the English city of Salisbury, from prehistoric times to the 1980's.

Read it if you like... British history, detailed chapters on the history of agricultural innovation and money lending. Not the most exciting of Rutherfurd's books. This one definitely leans more on the step-by-step history of how the people of the region changed the landscape v. the entertainment of the fictional storylines.

Further reading... only two more Rutherfurd books left - Ireland and Hampshire - until I can rank them all.
