"Stonehenge" truly deserves to be called epic: in prehistoric Britain, love, fear, and rivalry, bitterly competing religions and tribal politics, revenge and blood feuds all play out over the span of many years. Echoes of creation stories, and Temple-building scriptures, and oral histories, and myths and magic and human sacrifice, provide the backdrop to a tale of bloody struggle between tribes, genders, and ultimately between the god of the sun and goddess of the moon. Cornwell here brings past lives, even lives deep millennia in our collective past, deeply into a sympathetic present tense.
