À propos de cet audio

"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

Here is Edward Rutherfurd's classic novel of London, a glorious pageant spanning 2,000 years. He brings this vibrant city's long and noble history alive through the ever-shifting fortunes, fates, and intrigues of half-a-dozen families, from the age of Julius Caesar to the 20th century. Generation after generation, these families embody the passion, struggle, wealth, and verve of the greatest city in the world.

I was born within the sound of Bow Bells making me a Cockney so it’s probably no surprise that I’ve read this book three times. Listening to Andrew bring the saga to life with his interpretation of the different characters throughout the ages the book covers was faultless. I am now looking for other books narrated by him!

Love this book

Superb book which I have read every summer for years and listening to the audiobook was just as satisfying.

Excellent

In my opinion, Londonis the best of Edward Rutherfurds’s numerous (and all excellent) historical fiction novels.
It follows a few fictional families through the ages, from prehistoric times to present day.

I have read/listened to hundreds upon hundreds of books, and this is by far my favorite I have ever read. The way author intertwines the families evolution throughout the centuries is spectacular and if you are a fan of British history it gives you a whole perspective of everyday life in London throughout its entire history viewing life through the eyes of different classes and stations. It covers from the mundane day to day activities and behaviours to seemingly first hand accounts of significant events that shaped the city, country, and world. A long go but the narrator keeps things exciting and is a welcome change to the dryness of most other narrators of historical stories. Worth every second. Could listen again and would highly recommend.

Simply the best

I am 81 years old and still not needing a hearing aid but this narrator drove me to distraction. I have read all of Rutherford’s novels and this is the best. However, the narrator has a terrible habit of ending his sentences in a whisper which I cannot hear. In doing this I’ve lost a good part of the story.

I stuck it out to the end because it is a great epic but the narrator ruined it for me. One day I’ll go back and listen again and maybe pick up more of the story....or read it for myself.

Love the story but the narrator ???
