**SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE 2019** 15th century
Oakham, in Somerset; a tiny village cut off by a big river with no
bridge. When a man is swept away by the river in the early hours of
Shrove Saturday, an explanation has to be found: accident, suicide
or murder? The village priest, John Reve, is privy to many secrets
in his role as confessor. But will he be able to unravel what
happened to the victim, Thomas Newman, the wealthiest, most capable
and industrious man in the village? And what will happen if he
can't? Moving back in time towards the moment of Thomas Newman's
death, the story is related by Reve - an extraordinary creation, a
patient shepherd to his wayward flock, and a man with secrets of
his own to keep. Through his eyes, and his indelible voice, Harvey
creates a medieval world entirely tangible in its immediacy.
