Description
Under an endless and unforgiving sky, five travellers venture into the Judean wilderness in search of redemption. Instead, they are met by a dangerous man, Musa, who falls under their dark influence. As the days and nights erode their resolve, it becomes clear that one among them will go further than the rest. A fervent, solitary figure, he denies the temptations of his neighbours, and ultimately, the needs of his own body. This is a story of temptation, redemption, and the human condition, set against the stark backdrop of the desert. Jim Crace's novel is a stunningly realized tale of five strangers drawn into a world of darkness and despair. Part of the Picador Collection, this book showcases the best of modern literature.
