WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT MACFARLANE AND A NEW AFTERWORD BY THE AUTHOR
'You must read Adam Thorpe... Tender, precise, tragicomic and unsentimental'
Hilary Mantel
At the heart of this novel lies the fictional village of Ulverton. Different voices tell the story of the village over three hundred years: one of Cromwell's soldiers staggers home to find his wife remarried and promptly disappears, an eighteenth century farmer carries on an affair with a maid under his wife's nose, a mother writes letters to her imprisoned son, a 1980s real estate company discover a soldier's skeleton, dated to the time of Cromell... Told through diaries, sermons, drunken pub conversations and film scripts this is a masterful novel that reconstructs the unrecorded history of England.
'Superb and moving'
John Banville
"From its first page, you're aware that you are in the presence of a writer with exceptional gifts. By the final one, you know he has used them to create a masterpiece" (Peter Kemp Sunday Times)
"If you believe English fiction is jaded, you must read Adam Thorpe... Tender, precise, tragicomic and unsentimental" (Hilary Mantel Independent on Sunday)
"We aren't used to the many deep matters Thorpe touches on, nor to such a thorough grasp of the complex nature of our rural past, and through it, of all existence itself... Suddenly English lives again" (John Fowles Guardian)
"These stories sing like psalms, robust and vibrant - a poet's novel and a celebration that no social historian would dare attempt" (Observer)
"One of the great British fictional works of our time" (LA Times)
