About this listen
What has 'Roman Britain' meant to the British people since the Romans left? And what does Roman Britain mean to us now? How has it been reimagined, in story and song and verse? Charlotte Higgins leads us through the history, and by using some of Britain's most intriguing ancient monuments, Under Another Sky invites us to see the British landscape, and history, in an entirely fresh way.

"Mesmerising. Sophisticated and passionate. She personalizes the story in a diaristic, almost poetic tone." ( Guardian)
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narratorWhat was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
When I could get beyond my frustration with the narrator I found the author engaging and the painted of modern Britain overlaid with the fabric an memory of Roman Britain fascinating,How did the narrator detract from the book?
A b grade theatrical luvvy hamming the text up in the way that makes some BBC radio dramas so unbearable. Why she thought that making all male voices sound like pantomime schoolboys was a clever idea is beyond me. I managed to get third of the way in but the prospect of spending anymore time with the narrator’s breathy overplayed over pronunciations has sent me off to buy the book so I can finish it in peace.Do you think Under Another Sky needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Don’t know yet. I am yet to finish reading it for myselfBuy the book instead
