It’s the year 1468. A young priest arrives in a remote Exmoor village to conduct the funeral of his predecessor. The land around is strewn with ancient artefacts - coins, fragments of glass, human bones - which the old parson used to collect. Did his obsession with the past lead to his death? The priest becomes determined to discover the truth. Over the course of the next six days, everything he believes - about himself, his faith and the history of his world - will be tested to destruction.

John le Carre (who paid us a surprise visit in March) is still at the height of his writing powers at the age of 88. His 25th novel promises to address the “division and rage at the heart of our modern world”. It is set in London in 2018 and follows a 26-year-old solitary figure who, in a desperate attempt to resist the political turbulence swirling around him, makes connections that take him down a dangerous path. The plot and characterisation are as good as ever.

Set 15 years after The Handmaid’s Tale, it reveals the author’s vision for Gilead’s future.
