Harvest (Unabridged ed)

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2013 As late summer steals in and the final pearls of barley are gleaned, a village comes under threat.

Over the course of seven days, Walter Thirsk sees his hamlet unmade: the manor house set on fire, the harvest blackened, three new arrivals punished, and his neighbours accused of witchcraft.

But something even darker is at the heart of his story, and he will be the only man left to tell it - Told in Jim Crace's hypnotic prose, Harvest evokes the tragedy of land pillaged and communities scattered, as England's fields are irrevocably enclosed This recording is unabridged.
