The Story of Britain: From the Romans to the Present: A Narrative History by Rebecca Fraser

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, reading it mostly before bed at night over the course of about a year and a half. It was a nice end to my day, being both educational and amusing. The author's narrative was usually gripping, but I was surprised that it was more of a political history than anything else. The good part was that social history was interwoven so I never felt too removed from everything going on for people besides the big names. Most interesting was the presentation of the American Revolution, as I've never read about it from a British point of view before. This has definitely made me hungry for more British history, and not only the medieval and Elizabethan that I have been previously fond of.
