Synopsis
'Salute the liars - they can make the real world disappear and a fresh world take its place...'
Set in a coastal Stone Age village at the advent of bronze, Jim Crace's second novel, published for the first time in Penguin paperback, is marked by astonishing poetic resonance and daring imagination. As the stories of the narrators unfold, conflicting truths are revealed - truths which deal with contemporary issues of work, love, lying and forces of change.

‘A deceptively simple book that explores profound ideas with a rare delicacy of touch’ Los Angeles Times
‘Bewitching . . . brings a lost world to life and imbues it with a sense of wonder’ Sunday Times
