Synopsis
“A fantastic book, truly beautifully written, moving and unforgettable. I can't begin to identify a genre into which it fits with its innovative plot and complex character arcs but it is powerful and compelling from first word to last. Philip Hart's journey gave me surges of emotion ... Heartbreak ... Hope ... Despair ... And made me search my own soul. Reading this novel was an extraordinary experience. An outstanding debut.” Robin Price.
Norfolk schoolteacher Philip Hart has sought solace in drink as he sees his life start to unravel, and one night, driving home drunk from a village pub, he knocks down and kills an old man fleeing from a nearby mental hospital.
Hart hides the body in a culvert, but guilt forces him to learn the identity of his victim, to make amends. At the mental hospital he discovers clues to a decades-old mystery somehow involving the inmate, prompting him to sever all ties with his previously cloistered existence.
Adopting the role of Percival, the holy fool of legend charged with finding a redeeming relic, Hart’s journey takes him very far from Norfolk, into Sweden’s northern wilderness, and to one of the continent’s forbidden places. And back to that darkest of times, when the world was at war and aflame.
But if the man he killed had been driven mad by his part in creating this mystery, so Hart is in danger of becoming just as deranged. He has gone beyond needing simply to atone for a single death. He is now on a mission to rekindle what in his increasing obsession he believes is nothing less than the light of the world.
