The complexity of simple living
By J. Ang
Exquisitely written, this haunting tale of what happens within a week to a farming village when three strangers intrude on this closed community reveals much about human nature and its darker impulses.Crace's protagonist, Walter Thirsk, is an unreliable narrator of the events that lead the village's unravelling. That Thirsk is conveniently absent from some of the pivotal events often renders his point of view mere conjecture, and subject to rearrangement. The reader is never sure if things really happened the way he tells it. Add to that his penchant for village lore and belief in the supernatural, his interpretation of events is often preternatural. For example, Thirsk 'helpfully' sees the connections in the chain of events: "It feels as if some impish force has come out of the forest in the past few days to see what pleasure it can take in causing turmoil in a tranquil place."When the strangers are captured and apprehended for suspected arson, and more mysterious events follow, the mercenary Master Jordan, a blood-cousin of the village head Master Kent's late wife, instigates a witch hunt that drives a wedge between the villagers, and loyalties are sorely tested. Thirsk's precarious position in the community soon comes to the fore. He was not born there, having come to the village not 12 years ago, and is not fair-headed like most of the inhabitants, whose forefathers had rooted themselves in the land since days of yore. That Thirsk had been something of Master Kent's right hand man of old, and yet not quite now on familiar terms, also adds to his sense of displacement. Neither is he close to his nearest neighbour, ("John and I do not put up our feet at each other's hearths"), and though he has a part-time affair with a widow, it is merely physical and he forms no real connection with anyone. In the midst of it all, Thirsk's immense isolation becomes apparent to the reader, and his bumbling narrative only arouses pity.The simplicity of the agrarian society is rather aptly captured in the lyricism of Crace's prose, which comes through at every turn in the book. The closeness of nature is unveiled in the elements, and comes alive, for example, in these lines: "It's midnight rain, the sort that in the darkness has no form until it reaches you, until it strikes with the cold and keen insistence of a silver-worker's mallet." When Thirsk contemplates the interior of a neighbour's house that he had never seen, he muses: "It's certain that you cannot tell from how a person works or how a person strolls behind her hens what kind of life they live in secrecy."Brilliant.

Thought provoking.
By Jan
The story did not seem to go anywhere. It was very well written and showed how unfair justice could be before law and order was established - summary justice by probability not fact or proof. Life must have been cruel.

I love a happy ending
By S. Raab
I love a happy ending, so why have I given this book 5stars? It is serious and rather sad, but amazingly gripping. It is full of really wonderful visual images, and brings to life the reality of being a peasant in the Middle Ages and dealing with sickness, feudal landlords and the changes brought about in the countryside by changes in farming, the introduction of sheep, and the grabbing of common land.I could not put it down.
