Sarum is the heart of England. A land shrouded in legends. A place where passions have been in full swing since time immemorial to the present day. It is here that the story of enmity and revenge of two families: the Wilsons and the Shockleys, unfolds over several millennia. A city that survived despite a terrible plague and a terrible fire that practically destroyed medieval London. This is a fascinating story about the people who lived in the city from the times of the ancient Celtic tribes to the present day. A fascinating story of many generations of families whose destinies were intertwined in this city: the legionnaires of Julius Caesar who invaded the island two millennia ago, the crusading knights who set out to reconquer the Holy Land, witnesses to the turbulent family life of Henry VIII, those who participated in the construction of the Globe Theater, where plays were performed Shakespeare, witnesses of the industrial revolution of our time. This is a novel for all those who have visited England and loved this country. This book is for all those who have yet to visit there. For the first time in Russian!
