Creates a sense of wonder about right and wrong and the difference about societal and individual values and judgement.

The twist

It’s number 2 in its series but the complex lives and how they intertwine in medieval England is gripping

Interesting use of bones ;)

It's not often that a book grabs me from start to finish. Love a book based on real life events

It's one that's difficult to put down and doesn't give to many clues away.

A brilliant book, intelligent and so broad in scope. It’s a real masterful intertwining of alternative, re-imagined history. Funny and poignant in parts.

It had some really memorable and unexpected twists

I really enjoy the unreliable first person narrator - it makes the book flow differently to anything I've ever read before (the narrator has consistent memory problems and lies frequently.) The book paints an incredibly emotional and sympathetic portrait of an incredibly unsympathetic character - it captures the feeling of spiralling out of control in a really vivid way from a first person perspective.
