Wanda McCaddon
In Sarum, Edward Rutherfurd weaves a compelling saga of five English families whose fates become intertwined over the course of centuries. While each family has its own distinct characteristics, the successive generations reflect the changing character of Britain. We become drawn not only into the fortunes of the individual family members, but also the larger destinies of each family line.
Meticulously researched and epic in scope, Sarum covers the entire sweep of English civilization: from the early hunters and farmers, the creation of Stonehenge, the dawn of Christianity, and the Black Death; through the Reformation, the wars in America, the Industrial Age, and the Victorian social reforms; up through the World War II invasion of Normandy and the modern-day concerns of a once-preeminent empire.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
With my long commutes, a book like this can make time on the road bareble. I would recommend it for folks that can dedicate the hefty time needed to complete these volumes.Would you be willing to try another book from Edward Rutherfurd? Why or why not?
I would probably try another work by Rutherfurd. I would however try to have it less comprehensive, or more broken up.Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Narration was adequate. The various voices and accents made the flow enjoyable.Do you think Sarum needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. It is already comprehensive in its scope. You can't expect much more beyond a caveman to present day timeline.Any additional comments?
I enjoyed the book. It has led me to learn more about the area and times covered in the work.A long but, for the most part, enjoyable listen.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, for people who relish extremely, well-researched historical fiction.What was one of the most memorable moments of Sarum?
I am already quite familiar with the history of this area so I thoroughly enjoyed the author's description of particular events, battles, social changes etc. and how the effect on a diverse group of people. However, what made this book memorable for me was author's depiction of the ice age, migration south and early settlement of the area: this was simply delicious!What about Wanda McCaddon’s performance did you like?
I think her consistency was particularly notable. Given this was such a long book, I was impressed that her narration brought the same tone from beginning to end. I had no idea which of the six parts I was listening to at any given sitting - other than the timeline itself. Like many of the good narrators, she did not emote and allowed the events and the characters to tell the story.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were many...Any additional comments?
I have read extensively about this area and how the political and social powers in the UK and Europe changed over time and I anticipated more of this. I was certainly not prepared for how skillfully the author wove a tapestry of family relationships over such a long period of time and such dramatic changes to society. At the end, I was thrilled the author introduced a descendant from one of the group who left for the New World just after the American Revolution. To connect with name recognition to a distant relative was a tad contrived, but I was pleased that loose end was tied up. I also appreciated the contrasting view points of both these characters (and likely the author himself)... i.e. Salisbury being like a museum (stagnant) and the perception of fighting for the past vs. acknowledging and celebrating the fluidity of change. The irony of these view points was not lost on me and it certainly cuts both ways.Completely Engaging

Any additional comments?
If you liked centennial by michener or pillars of the earth by follett, this book will not disappoint.The first half of the book, up till the end of rome was more like what i enjoy about this kind of book. epic and uncomplicated. after the fall of rome, things get much more political and i sometimes found it hard to follow. but that's just me, don't be discouraged it was not that complicated a book. just maybe a bit overlong, which led to my attention drifting and as a result of my own distraction, i missed some bits.
warning; this author is of the sort who likes to invent words; like, ''toleration'' rather than tolerance. this sort of thing makes me wince when i hear it. but altogethjer a fine book.
i,m gonna take a break, and will likely buy another from rutherfurd after i have recovered from listening to this one.
good but, sometimes drags

Would you listen to Sarum again? Why?
Possibly, just to understand the stories.What was one of the most memorable moments of Sarum?
What one character does when he realizes he has the plague.Any additional comments?
I tend to listen to audiobooks when I am doing other things. This book is just so hard for me to get into. I think it would have been better if I read it. It is hard for me to follow names and stories by listening to this.Probably would have been better to read this
