“A TOUR DE FORCE . . . London tracks the history of the English capital from the days of the Celts until the present time. . . . Breathtaking.”—The Orlando Sentinel

A master of epic historical fiction, Edward Rutherford gives us a sweeping novel of London, a glorious pageant spanning two thousand years. He brings this vibrant city's long and noble history alive through his saga of ever-shifting fortunes, fates, and intrigues of a half-dozen families, from the age of Julius Caesar to the twentieth century. Generation after generation, these families embody the passion, struggle, wealth, and verve of the greatest city in the Old World.

Praise for London

The building of the Globe theatre . . . and the coming of the Industrial Revolution. . . . What a delightful way to get the feel of London and of English history. . . . We witness first-hand the lust of Henry VIII. We overhear Geoffrey Chaucer deciding to write The Canterbury Tales. . . . Each episode is a punchy tale made up of bite-size chunks ending in tiny cliffhangers.”—The New York Times

The supporters of the king, who believed that the hereditary principle must remain inviolate, had even acquired a nickname. “Tories” they were called, which meant “Irish rebels”. They in turn described the king’s opponents with an equally rude epithet: “Whigs”, which meant “Scottish thieves”.

About the Author

Edward Rutherfurd was born in Salisbury, England, and was educated in Wiltshire and at Cambridge. He has since lived on both sides of the Atlantic, in Dublin and New York, but he returned to his roots to write his first novel, the best-selling Sarum, a history of Salisbury.  This was followed by the best-selling Russka, a sweeping history of Russia from the cossack horsemen to the Bolshevik revolution.

Until the 1980s, Edward Rutherfurd pursued a business career -- he attended Stanford Business School, worked  for W.H. Smith, and was employed by  Tory Party Central Office. As a child, he had been fascinated by the novels of C.S. Forester, Henty, and the historical romances of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His grandmother, Evelyn Winch, was a well-known romantic novelist of the 1930s. Rutherfurd was also influenced by the novels of James Michener, such as Covenant and Texas, and saw that no one had attempted a similar approach in the United Kingdom.

Rutherfurd gave up his secure day job and spent two years researching and writing Sarum. When it was half-finished, and funds were running low, he realized he needed to find an agent. He approached agent Gill Coleridge with a few chapters and a synopsis. Within a month, Century bought the book in England, and the novel was auctioned in the United States. Ten years later, Sarum is still selling all over the world.

Edward Rutherfurd currently lives outside Dublin, Ireland.

54 BC

Fifty-four years before the birth of Christ, at the end of a cold, star-filled spring night, a crowd of two hundred people stood in a semicircle by the bank of the river and waited for the dawn.

Ten days had passed since the ominous news had come.

In front of them, at the water's edge, was a smaller group of five figures. Silent and still, in their long grey roves they might have been taken for so many standing stones. These were the druids, and they were about to perform a ceremony which, it was hoped, would save the island and their world.

Amongst those gathered by the riverbank were three people, each of whom, whatever hopes or fears they may have had concerning the threat ahead, guarded a personal and terrible secret.

One was a boy, the second a woman, the third a very old man.

There were many sacred sites along the lengthy course of the river. But nowhere was the spirit of the great river so clearly present than at this quiet place.

Here, sea and river met. Downstream, in a series of huge loops, the ever widening flow passed through open marshland until, about ten miles away, it finally opened out into the long, eastward funnel of the estuary and out to the cold North Sea. Upstream, the river meandered delightfully between pleasant woods and lush, level meadows. But at this point, between two of the river's great bends, lay a most gracious stretch of water, two and a half miles long, where the river flowed eastwards in a single, majestic sweep.

It was tidal. At high tide, when the incoming sea in the estuary reversed the current, this river road was a thousand yards across; at low tide, only three hundred. In the centre, halfway along the southern bank where the marshes formed little islands, a single gravel spit jutted out into the stream forming a promontory at low water, and becoming an island when the tide was high. It was on the top of this spit that the little crowd was standing. Opposite them, on the northern bank, lay the place, now deserted, that bore the name of Londinos.

Londinos. Even now, in the dawning light, the shape of the ancient place could be seen clearly across the water: two low gravel hills with levelled tops rising side by side about eighty feet above the waterfront. Between the two hills ran a little brook. To the left, on the western flank, a larger stream descended to a broad inlet that interrupted the northern bank.

On the eastern side of the two hills, there had once been a small hillfort whose low earthwork wall, now empty, could serve as a lookout post for vessels approaching from the estuary. The western hill was sometimes used by the druids when they sacrificed oxen.

And the was all there was. An abandoned settlement. A sacred spot. The tribal centres were to the north and south. The tribes over whom the great chief Cassivelaunus was master lived in the huge eastern tracts above the estuary. The tribe of Cantii, in the long peninsula south of the estuary, had already given that region the name of Kent. The river was a border between them, Londinos a sort of no-man's-land.

The very name was obscure. Some said that a man called Londinos had lived there; others suggested that it might refer to the little earthwork on the eastern hill. But nobody knew. Somehow, in the last thousand years, the place had got the name.

The cold breeze was coming up the river from the estuary. There was a faint, sharp smell of mud and riverweed. Above, the bright morning star was beginning to fade as the clear sky turned to a paler blue.

The boy shivered. He had been standing an hour and he was cold. Like most of the folk there, he wore a simple woolen tunic that reached to the knees and was fastened at the waist with a leather belt. Beside him stood his mother holding a baby, and his sister little Branwen, whom he held by the hand. For it was his task at such times to keep her in order.

He was a bright, brave little fellow, dark-haired and blue-eyed, like most of his Celtic people. His name was Segovax and he was nine. A closer inspection, however, would have revealed two unusual features in his appearance. On the front of his head on the forelock, grew a patch of white hair, as though someone had dabbed it with a brush of white dye. Such hereditary marks were to be found amongst several families dwelling in the hamlets along that region of the river. "You needn't worry," his mother had told him. "A lot of women think it's a sign that you're lucky."

The second feature was much stranger. When the boy spread his fingers, it could be seen that between them, as far as the first joint, was a thin layer of skin, like the webbing on a duck's foot. This too was an inherited trait, although it did not show itself in every generation. It was as though, in some distant, primordial time some gene in a fish-like prototype of Man had obstinately refused to change its watery character entirely, and so passed on this vestige of its origins. Indeed, with his large-eyed face and his wiry little body, the boy did somehow make one think of a tadpole or some other little creature of the waters, a quick survivor down the endless eons of time.

His grandfather had also exhibited the condition. "But they cut the extra skin away when he was a baby," Segovax's father had told his wife. She could not bear the thought of the knife, though, and so nothing had been done. It did not trouble the boy.

Segovax glanced around at his family: little Branwen, with her affectionate nature and her fits of temper that no one could control; the baby boy in his mother's arms, just starting to walk and babble his first words; his mother pale and strangely distracted of late. How he loved them. But as he stared past the druids, his face broke into a little smile. By the water's edge was a modest raft with two men standing beside it. And one of them was his father.

They shared so much, father and son. The same little tuft of white hair, the same large eyes. His father's face, scoured by crease lines almost resembling scales, made one think of some solemn, fish-like creature. So dedicated was he that the local people referred to him simply as the Fisher. And though other men, Segovax realized, were physically stronger than this quiet fellow with his curved back and long arms, none was kinder or more quietly determined. "He may not be much to look at," the men in the hamlet would say, "but the Fisher never gives up." His mother, Segovax knew, adored his father. So did he.

Which was why, the day before, he had formed the daring plan that, if he managed to carry it out, would probably cost him his life.

Facts + Fiction = Fun-to-Read History of London

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

If your eyes glazed over while reading history books or in class, this may be just what was missing while you were in school. Author Edward Rutherfurd painstakingly presents us with the development of London through 2,000 years of history. While Rutherfurd is a scholar, this is not a scholarly work. Nor, is it a dry accounting. Interwoven through the centuries are the generations of fictional families that give us the human interest element. You might even think of it as history delivered soap opera style.

A work of this scope cannot dwell for long on any single period of time. The early story includes the Ice Age, Vikings, Druids, Caesar crossing the Thames, and the Roman occupation of (then) Londonum. Despite the many hundreds of pages, major historical events receive a smattering of attention. This novel presents us with Medieval times, brings us into the Renaissance and into our present day. While doing this, Rutherfurd includes architecture, the royal houses of Europe, literature (even Chaucer is a character), theater, the Catholic Church and Protestantism, politics, wars, the beginnings of guilds, and the development of London's sprawl from a primitive settlement to a modern city.

There are a few points to mention. The first one has nothing to do with the story but rather, reading this book on a Kindle. Obviously, it is far easier to lift/carry/hold than the heavy paper version. But the downside is that, it is impossible to see the maps that are so helpful in the hard copy version.

Sometimes it was difficult to remember characters. If you don't read for a while, continuity may be lost. There are so many characters it's hard to keep them in mind.

While I applaud the author for writing an engaging historical novel, character development was lacking. But then, how could he possibly have included such a scope of history if he had not curtailed his characters in some way? True to the times of sons following fathers in their line of work or being apprenticed out, Rutherfurd's history is accurate. However, he used specific trans-generational traits that just didn't ring true. Characters imbued with strength, honor, or simplemindedness for example, made them less believable. Conversely, it could be seen as the author's device for helping the reader keep track of the many characters.

Is it worth investing your money and time to read LONDON: A NOVEL? Yes, if you enjoy (re)learning history. Yes, if you like seeing how climate, politics, wars, illnesses, and human frailties have forged into creating our past and (hopefully) appreciating how they impact our future. And yes, if you relish seeing places you've been or, plan to see for yourself.

This is a well-written, well researched saga that entertains as it teaches and informs.
Fictional characters and events are seamlessly interwoven with historical places, figures, and events, without the gratuitous, mass-market sex scenes, violence, and current-cultural filters that seem to plague most historical fiction novels. If you enjoy fluid writing, engaging characters, and are a history buff who likes to strap in for a long, multigenerational literary journey, then this is a book (and author) for you.

Thorough history of London through fictional characters starting in Celtic times

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

As we have a home in London near the London Museum and the Tower, where most of the action takes place, I was particularly interested to discover London history and general information . The narrative takes place following the fortunes of several different London families, which makes the history much more interesting than a factual history book. Rutherford appears to have taken pains to verify the historical facts that he uses, so that we get a very readable description of life, politics and habits of Londoners from the time of Celtic druids through the Roman occupation, the Norman conquest, middle ages up through Regency and Victorian times up to the second World War. The only weakness lies in the last chapter (1997), where the narrative tails off rather weakly.

If you appreciate:
- researched and thorough information;
- well written, well-paced novels;
- travelling through time or being absorbed by a good story;
- learning about people, the evolution of civilization, the history of economic development

I highly recommend "London: The Novel."

The richness of the content supported by factual events and great characters make the reading of "London" as much a vacation read as a learning experience. This book was my first Rutherfurd read, and since I have read almost all his other books and referred them as well. Now my wish is he covers some cities or regions for my personal interest (say Paris or Montreal).

Historical fiction, when in the hands of a solid author, is a fantastic way to learn about our past to understand the present. Rutherfurd has mastered the art of storytelling in a compelling and informative way. No doubt purists will say there are questionable areas on some facts, but history is not always about the actual day the event happened or if there was more or less rain during a storm; it is about providing context to help understand and build our own referential.

A great way to learn about London's history

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 31, 2023

The standard Edward Rutherfurd formula which has made him a successful author. A thousand pager about a place, this time London, starting in pre Roman times and continuing until the twentieth century. History mixed with fictional tales about certain families. I learned a lot about London I didn’t know and the stories were intriguing.

Expectations met.

Reviewed in Canada on November 1, 2020

Edward Rutherfurd brings history to life. That is the joy in reading his works. I have read Sarum, Princes of Ireland, The Forest, and New York. I decided to put off reading London until I had a better understanding of the complex history of England's rulers, social struggles and evolution of government. Edward Rutherfurd's "London" is more than history. While knowledge of history helps one follow the story of London, it is not necessary. In fact his story telling, that follows historical timeline, explores the human factors that precipitate events. Under his pen cultural changes, evolutions, and revolutions unfold naturally. His research of the places and buildings that tourists find so attractive today and how they got their names is woven into each chapter's story and offers up many ah-hah moments as well as a tease for what is to come in the next. The complexity of England's history just makes more sense. It's like looking at thousands of strands of thread on a loom, first individually and then as the finished product. London exceeds my expectations providing hours of enjoyment traveling through the ages. And I have only just started the adventure with so many more hours of time travel left to enjoy.
