London is a historical novel by Edward Rutherfurd published in 1997, which charts the history of London from 54 B.C. to 1997. The novel begins with the birth of the River Thames and moves to 54 B.C., detailing the life of Segovax, a curious character with slightly webbed hands and a flash of white hair. Seqovax becomes the ancestor of the Ducket and Dogget families, prominent fictional families woven into the novel.
Historical figures, such as Julius Caesar, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, and Pocahontas, make appearances alongside fictional characters and historical kings and queens of England.

Bought in Bangkok, at the Dasa Book Cafe.

What a brilliant novel - and a fun way of reading about London's history. The storytelling isn't always that impressive, but that isn't what the book is about, Rutherfurd makes history come alive. Occasonally there's an overload of information, but still it's great entertainment.

Released at the guest house bookshelf.
Happy reading!
