Story
In this vast and gorgeous tapestry of a novel, serf and master, Cossack and tsar, priest and Jew are brought together in a family saga which unrolls through centuries of history to reveal that most impenetrable and mysterious of lands - Russia. Through the life of a little town east of Moscow in the Russian heartland, Edward Rutherfurd creates a sweeping family saga from the baffling contradictions of Russia's culture and her peoples - bleak yet exotic, brutal but romantic, land of ritual yet riddled with superstitious fears.

Story
Imagine you could travel back to the 14th century. What would you see? What would you smell? More to the point, where are you going to stay? And what are you going to eat? Ian Mortimer shows us that the past is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived. He sets out to explain what life was like in the most immediate way, through taking you to the Middle Ages. The result is the most astonishing social history book you are ever likely to read: evolutionary in its concept, informative and entertaining in its detail.

Story
This is the remarkable story of the English language; from its beginnings as a minor guttural Germanic dialect to its position today as a truly established global language. The Adventure of English is not only an enthralling story of power, religion, and trade, but also the story of people, and how their lives continue to change the extraordinary language that is English.

Enthralling history and brilliant narration.
I read the book years ago ( but it was a challenge since I only get to read late at night) but this audio version brought it all to life for me. The first few chapters seem a little slow, but stick with it and you'll find yourself sitting in the car in your driveway as you crave that little bit more! I loved the assortment of families with their various characteristics and their continuous reappearance throughout the centuries. As an ex-pat, it took me home... I didn't want it to end...

I cried because it ended
I have never been a huge book reader; not since I was a child, but this has ignited within me an insatiable hunger for literature specifically about history.
Rutherford's narrative style - to entertain with fiction whilst to not only educate but enthrall with fact - is the most enriching and inspiring story telling experience I have ever had.
This is is the first of his books that I have read and it is no question that I will purchase every other one.
Andrew Wincott may perhaps seem plain if one is not truly listening to his words, but he is utterly masterful.
He does not squeak, nor does he shout, but he emphasises, pauses and turns vocal corners with precision; painting the perfect film in a reader's head with naught but his voice.
I was most of all incredibly impressed with his range of accents. As the history of London is - so this book has taught me - overwhelmingly rich in it's variety of peoples, so was his ability to represent them all vocally.
I burst into tears when Andrew read that it was the end. I will be listening to this book many times yet.
Thank you. So much.

Good, but would rather read the book!
I love Edward Rutherford, having read The Forest. I think he is a very important writer, however I struggled to listen to this and would prefer to read the book

GREAT STORY
well it's not my usual book as I work out doors and often like zombie apocalypse, spy and action books lol where it's more about the action and not so much the story. However during COVID I've been stuck at home unable to work, my wife suggested that I try something different. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone, so much so that my next book will also be an Edward Rutherford book about Russia...
I'll no doubt return to my trusty action books when I return to work, but for now I'm very pleased with Eddy.

I enjoyed reading the novel more
Maybe it’s just me, but I read the novel when it was first released and enjoyed the written version more than the audio book.
I have no criticism of the narrator nor the plot … I just found it too long to manage as an audio book. Some novels translate to the audio version better than others and I’d prefer the hard copy in this instance.
Just a personal opinion and I mean no disrespect to the author and narrator both of whom do an excellent job.
