Synopsis
LONGLISTED: Exeter Novel Prize
'A perfect blend of research and storytelling' Irish Examiner
'A heartrending piece of work, told lovingly’ Catholic Herald
Seven-year-old Wilfrid lives a privileged life as the eldest son of the warmaster to the King of Northumbria. But his life is turned upside down when he is given away, without warning, to the monks of Lindisfarne.
There he is taken under the wing of Cuthbert, the eccentric prior, who tries to cure him of the demons that torment him. But everywhere the boy goes, he seems to bring ill-fortune: to Fergus, drowned in the freezing North Sea, or to Sigi, his brother, struck down by plague when Wilfrid finds his way back home.
As he comes of age and major events erupt around him - war with the Picts, religious schisms and the queen's desperate measures to conceive a son - he pieces together his own family history and the ageing Cuthbert's part in it.
Vividly conveying the hardships and compensations of monastic life in a brutal age, this richly evocative tale of seventh-century England - based on the chronicle of the real St Cuthbert - offers some startlingly modern lessons about trauma and guilt.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. LONGLISTED: Exeter Novel Prize Cast out for a crime A holy hermit his only protector Seven-year-old Wilfrid lives a privileged life as the eldest son of the warmaster to the King of Northumbria. But his parents don't seem to love him and his life is turned upside down when he is given away to the monks of the island monastery of Lindisfarne. There he is taken under the wing of Cuthbert, the community's charismatic prior, who tries to cure him of the demons that torment him. But everywhere the boy goes, he seems to bring ill-fortune in his wake: to Fergus, drowned in the freezing North Sea, or to Sigi, his brother, who is struck down by plague when Wilfrid finds his way back home. As he comes of age and major events erupt all around him - with Northumbria at war with the Picts, religious schisms raging and the queen taking desperate measures to conceive a son - Wilfrid gradually pieces together his own family history, and the ageing Cuthbert's part in it. An evocative tale of seventh-century religious and political life offers some startlingly modern lessons about trauma and guilt. In the plague-ridden, battle-torn Northumbria of the Dark Ages, seven-year-old Wilfrid is banished by his parents to the windswept island of Lindisfarne, where he has only one protector. Fortunately that protector is St Cuthbert, the holiest and wisest man alive. Although perhaps also the strangest.
