| Plot Summary of Sarum |
|---|
"Salisbury is the central focus of this novel. An eye into British culture...which comes to life in this story. From hunting and gathering--the ice age--five families pursue their dreams. All of which are focused on survival of the fittest. Domination by church leaders, kings, and ruling classes at the tribal level to the aristocracy of contemporary British times, these families forged ahead to make their mark in history. From Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral, to exile, tyranny, passion, and prosperity; these families struggled beyond the normal bounds of human endurance. "
F. Scott Sinclair, Resident Scholar
