<p><b>WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY MARK RYLANCE</b><br><b><br>'As disturbing as it is empathetic, as beautiful as it is riveting' Eimear McBride, <i>New Statesman</i></b><br><br><b>'A literary triumph' Adam Thorpe, <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>1066. The Norman invasion has brutally seized the country that the Buccmaster of Holland, a proud landowning farmer in Lincolnshire, once knew. Bereft of his wife and sons, the Buccmaster clings to the ways of the Old Gods, and assembles a band of 'grene men' to seek revenge. <br><br>Winner of the Gordon Burn Prize 2014 and longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, <i>The Wake </i>transports readers to an English landscape steeped in folklore, omens and violence. Told in a 'shadow tongue' - a form of Old English understandable to a modern reader - the novel is an astonishing and gripping depiction of faith, homeland and identity at the end of the world.<br><br><b>'Strange and extraordinary . . . it lingers in the imagination' <i>The Times</i> </b></p>
