Reviewed by Bill

Bill is one of the founders of Boffins and has been involved in selecting the books we stock since our beginning in 1989. His favourite reading is history, with psychology, current affairs, and business books coming close behind. His hobbies are reading, food, reading, drinking, reading, and sleeping.

Robert Harris has written some great historical thrillers – his last was Munich a couple of years back.

In this new book we’re in England in 1468 and a priest is riding to a remote village to conduct the funeral of the priest there – who has just died.

But did he die naturally?

Why did he collect secret, banned books? And why were the books banned anyway?

Why are there strange ancient artefacts strewn over the land – coins, glass, human bones – and why did the deceased parson collect these?

I can’t tell you more, but you’ll be sitting up all night finding out what really happened, like I did when I got an advance copy of this book.

It won’t be anything like you imagine. But it’s all plausible, and the past is in the future.
