A story about the entangled and conflicted fortunes of two cousins: Erasmus Kemp, the son of a Lancashire merchant, and Matthew Paris, a scholar and surgeon just released from prison for denying Holy Writ. This novel was awarded 1992 Booker prize.

«Barry Unsworth has written a brilliant book about a miracle play which gets mixed up with a murder... The sights and sounds, the physical impact of bedraggled play-acting, are unforgettable. And the strange birth of modern drama, on a cart carrying dirty costumes and a corpse, is memorably exciting.»
Mail on Sunday

«Wonderfully vivid... this bleakly glittering novel... adds to its already impressive array of attraction the pace, suspense and twisty unexpectedness of a gripping detective tale.»
Sunday Times

«From the first, vital sentence, Unsworth's medieval drama grips the reader's attention... Unsworth's exquisite novel captures the filth and fear of the 14th century.»
Daily Telegraph

«Brilliant... The ending is thrilling and unexpected, though nothing is beyond belief in this beautifully constructed, illuminating novel.»

Observer

«A perfect novel... this book dazzles on every level.»
Independent on Sunday
