Set in and around England's New Forest, the novel follows local families from the creation of the royal hunting ground after the Norman Conquest to the twentieth century. Foresters, landowners, clergy, smugglers and labourers encounter royal privilege, religious upheaval, civil war, enclosure and social change while remaining tied to the same woods and villages. The landscape provides the central continuity in a story about custom, ownership and survival.
