About this listen

A wonderful, epic story that tells the history of the greatest city in the world, from Roman times to the present day. From the author of Paris, Sarum and New York.

London has perhaps the most remarkable history of any city in the world. Now its story has a unique voice. In this epic novel, Edward Rutherfurd takes the listener on a magnificent journey across 16 centuries, from the days of the Romans to the Victorian engineers of Tower Bridge and the dockland development of the modern day.

Through the lives and adventures of his colourful cast of characters, he brings all the richness of London's past unforgettably to life.

A wonderful portrayal of a city

It seems that it will be too long a listen, but no, as you go on with this long story, you are dragged in and the culmination in the last paragraph brings a worthy conclusion. More than a history, but things you vaguely knew ( and those you didn’t) are revealed as you listened. Well worth the hours spent!

Narration was good

An interesting interpretation of the history of London, shared through different family trees. A worthwhile context to the London we see today

Another excellent Edward Rutherford title

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the Edward Rutherford books that I have read/listened to. They are all clearly very well researched and the family traits that thread through each book are brilliant.

Audible production very well done too.

Highly recommended.
