Description

From the earliest settlements on the River Avon to the dawn of the modern age, one town bears witness to the passage of history.

For nearly two thousand years, the ancient market town of Evesham has stood at the heart of England’s story. Around it, kingdoms rise and fall, faith reshapes communities, wars redraw loyalties, and industry transforms everyday life.

At the centre of this sweeping historical saga are five families whose lives become woven together across the centuries. Through love and loss, prosperity and hardship, courage and betrayal, each generation inherits the legacy of those who came before, while leaving its own mark upon the future.

Richly researched and vividly imagined, Asum: The Evesham Saga brings history to life through the experiences of ordinary men and women living in extraordinary times. From Roman Britain and the Saxon kingdoms to the Norman conquest, the medieval abbey, the English Civil War and the industrial revolution, every era unfolds through compelling characters whose hopes and struggles echo across the generations.

Perfect for readers who enjoy the epic historical novels of Edward Rutherfurd, James A. Michener, and Ken Follett, Asum is both an intimate family saga and a panoramic journey through English history.

Step into the story of Evesham—and discover how one town, one river, and countless lives helped shape a nation.
