How did we miss this one? Find!
The Forest, by Edward Rutherfurd, is set -- as one might expect -- in the New Forest, one of Hampshire's most notable landscapes. This is a saga that starts in Norman times and continues on down through the centuries, following the fortures of various Forest families and the threats to the Forest itself. Seems like an obvious candidate for our list!31 October 2009 from Rachel the editor
