Description
Karen Maitland brings readers a captivating adaptation of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in this extraordinary novel. It brilliantly blends history with mysteries and enigmas, along with a powerful human drama. ***** The year is 1348. The plague has swept across England. In a world ruled by faith and fear, nine desperate people brought together by chance try to escape death, which is inevitably on their heels. ***** Each member of this disparate group has their own story. Kamelot, a wandering relic seller who becomes the leader of the group, Cygnus, a one-armed storyteller, the strange silent girl Narigorm, or the painter and his pregnant wife... they all have secrets. Everyone is hiding something. However, one of them carries a truly dark secret that will lead these liars to an entirely unexpected fate.
