The book description above is not correct about the timeframe of this book. It covers 9 centuries: It begins in the 12th century and culminates in the 21st century. If you like history, you will enjoy this book on tape. Read by Lynn Redgrave, this book is fiction but based on historical fact so the settings are accurate for each period. It follows the lives of a few English families throughout. The only thing I suggest is to listen to it all at once, or within a short period of time. Because there are so many stories interwoven, you will get lost and have to go back and review if you leave too much time in between listenings. All in all, a very good book.
