Description
In the isolated English village of Oakham in 1491, a death hangs heavy in the air, potentially a murder. Told in reverse over four disquieting holy days, this medieval mystery unravels the secrets of a community bound by faith and guilt. As the local priest, Reve, investigates, he must confront his own hidden truths while seeking the answers to what truly happened to Newman. Samantha Harvey, celebrated for her exquisite prose and meticulous research, crafts a haunting narrative that explores the complexities of confession and the elusive nature of freedom.
