An extraordinary new novel by Samantha Harvey--whose books have
been nominated for the Man Booker Prize, the Women's Prize for
Fiction (formerly the Orange Prize), and the Guardian First Book
Award--The Western Wind is a riveting story of faith, guilt, and
the freedom of confession. It's 1491. In the small village of
Oakham, its wealthiest and most industrious resident, Tom Newman,
is swept away by the river during the early hours of Shrove
Saturday. Was it murder, suicide, or an accident? Narrated from the
perspective of local priest John Reve--patient shepherd to his
wayward flock--a shadowy portrait of the community comes to light
through its residents' tortured revelations. As some of their
darkest secrets are revealed, the intrigue of the unexplained death
ripples through the congregation. But will Reve, a man with secrets
of his own, discover what happened to Newman? And what will happen
if he can't? Written with timeless eloquence, steeped in the
spiritual traditions of the Middle Ages, and brimming with
propulsive suspense, The Western Wind finds Samantha Harvey at the
pinnacle of her outstanding novelistic power.
