It's the history of London since before the Roman invasion till modern times told through life stories of generations upon generations of a few of the same families.

Historical Novel Society . Retrieved 5 March 2016.Originally published on the sixth of April in 2000, this was another standalone novel from the British author, once again spanning a vast number of years. With his now trademarked epic scope as before, it manages to recapture an accuracy and sense of character which shows a master clearly at the top of his game. Whilst the style and the tone are dramatic in nature, it’s not inaccessible either, as it allows the reader to jump in easily, getting lost in the narrative.

Rutherfurd's is a marathon task... I think that he pulls it off. LONDON: the Novel could hook you on history for life.'Remarkable . . . The invasion by Julius Caesar’s legions in 54 B.C. . . . The rise of chivalry and the Crusades . . . 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

En este caso (y que los ingleses no londinenses me perdonen), la historia de Londres se superpone a la Historia de la isla, y es una buena escusa para darle un buen repaso. También vamos asistiendo al desarrollo de la ciudad, con sus épocas de esplendor o decadencia, a su desarrollo urbanístico y haciendo especial hincapié en los hechos históricos más relevantes, que en ella acaecieron. El libro es ameno (no deja de ser un "tocho" de casi 1200 págs), los personajes son interesantes, así que, desde mi punto de vista merece la pena. Overall this book is a slog and though better than ‘The Forest’ it is not as good as ‘Sarum’ I will probably read another Rutherford but only if a suitable subject comes up. To date, his other written work is ‘Russka’, ‘New York’, ‘Dublin’ and ‘Ireland’. Past Winners of the David J. Langum Sr. Prizes: 2009, Langum Prize for American Historical Fiction".
