It’s a tale of sacrifice, ritual, murder, love, and the power of belief to achieve the impossible. Stonehenge is about exactly what it sounds like, though it focuses more on the people responsible for the construction of the mammoth standing stones and the reasons they had to build it (as imagined by the author). All the deities, characters, settlements, and tribes are fictional and without the book’s title or cover art I could easily have thought the story took place in some other realm. I say fantasy because though it takes place four thousand years ago in modern day Britain, there are zero modern geographical or temporal references.
I just finished Bernard Cornwell’s Stonehenge and I am impressed and amazed at this piece of work that is part epic historical fiction and part fantasy.
