From the double Man Booker prize-winning author of Wolf Hall, Bring
Up the Bodies and The Mirror & the Light , this is a dark fable
of lost faith and awakening love amidst the moors. Fetherhoughton
is a drab, dreary town somewhere in a magical, half-real 1950s
north England, a preserve of ignorance and superstition protected
against the advance of reason by its impenetrable moor-fogs. Father
Angwin, the town's cynical priest, has lost his faith, and wants
nothing more than to be left alone. Sister Philomena strains
against the monotony of convent life and the pettiness of her
fellow nuns. The rest of the town goes about their lives in a haze,
a never-ending procession of grim, grey days stretching ahead of
them. Yet all of that is about to change. A strange visitor appears
one stormy night, bringing with him the hint, the taste of
something entirely new, something unknown. But who is Fludd? An
angel come to shake the Fetherhoughtonians from their stupor, to
reawaken Father Angwin's faith, to show Philomena the nature of
love? Or is he the devil himself, a shadowy wanderer of the darkest
places in the human heart? Full of dry wit, compassionate
characterisations and cutting insight, Fludd is a brilliant gem of
a book, and one of Hilary Mantel's most original works.
