Sarum (also titled Sarum: The Novel of England) is a work of historical fiction by Edward Rutherfurd, first published in 1987. It tells the story of England through the tales of several families in and around the English city of Salisbury, the writer's hometown, from prehistoric times to 1985.

**************************
Found it in a book exchange phone box in ... no, not in Britain, but in Berlin-Spandau. I recently read Rutherfurd's "London" and loved it - but at the moment I'm a bit put off by the amount of ~1300 pages... However, it's on a certain wishlist, so I took it with me.

Released at the
Bordeaux Bookcrossing Convention 2018.
It's on somebody's wishlist!

Thank you so much for this book, ApoloniaX! It is a big one indeed, great that you wanted to take it with you.

I'm also very happy with Bally and I think the seperately wrapped bar of chocolate was also your, right?

Yesterday I did it in person, today also here when making this JE: thank you very much for your thoughtfullness!
