The Western Wind: A Novel

An extraordinary new novel by Samantha Harveyâ€•whose books have been nominated for the Man Booker Prize, the Womenâ€™s Prize for Fiction (formerly the Orange Prize), and the Guardian First Book Awardâ€•The Western Wind is a riveting story of faith, guilt, and the freedom of confession.

Itâ€™s 1491. In the small village of Oakham, its wealthiest and most industrious resident, Tom Newman, is swept away by the river during the early hours of Shrove Saturday. Was it murder, suicide, or an accident? Narrated from the perspective of local priest John Reveâ€•patient shepherd to his wayward flockâ€•a shadowy portrait of the community comes to light through its residentsâ€™ tortured revelations. As some of their darkest secrets are revealed, the intrigue of the unexplained death ripples through the congregation. But will Reve, a man with secrets of his own, discover what happened to Newman? And what will happen if he canâ€™t?

Written with timeless eloquence, steeped in the spiritual traditions of the Middle Ages, and brimming with propulsive suspense, The Western Wind finds Samantha Harvey at the pinnacle of her outstanding novelistic power.
