Description

Description

Cuddy is a bold and experimental retelling of the story of St. Cuthbert, unofficial patron saint of the North of England. By combining poetry, prose, play, diary, and real historical accounts, Benjamin Myers creates a novel that straddles historical eras, from the 8th century Viking invaders to a contemporary England defined by class and austerity.

The story weaves together the lives of various individuals, including brewers, masons, archers, academics, monks, and labourers, whose visionary voices and stories echo through the ages. At the heart of the narrative is Durham Cathedral and the lives of those who live and work around it, exploring their dreams, desires, connections, and communities.
