About the Book

England in the 1630s: turbulent times, with fears of foreign invasion and Catholic conspiracies rife. John Brigge, a farmer and coroner, is respected in his North Country community, but harbours a dangerous secret: he is also a Catholic. When he is called to adjudicate on the murder of a new-born child, Brigge finds himself drawn into matters he would rather avoid. Katherine Shay, an Irishwoman, is accused of killing her baby, and the town's powerful Puritan faction demands her immediate death. Brigge suspects their haste has little to do with a quest for justice. What are they hiding And does he really want to know

Review :
As uncompromising as a biblical text, Bennett s drama captures life in the raw both in the dock and the chamber. A modern parable in historic guise Independent, 24/6/05 - Independent

This is a gripping novel, its narrative staggered with betrayal and intrigue and suffused with the hot threat of violence. Bennett s prose is economical, powerful, and often poetic' - The Times

Bennett s evocation of a corner of England on the edge of apocalypse is wonderfully done the novel s language is flowing yet exact, marked with a wonderful strangeness - Kathryn Hughes, Guardian

'An accomplished and ambitious work of fiction HAVOC is Bennett s best novel to date, and deserves a significant place in the modern canon - Observer

'Superb already long-listed for the Booker, HAVOC, IN ITS THIRD YEAR has the pedigree of a novel that can, and should, go further. It is a thrillingly satisfying piece of work - Sunday Telegraph

'Both an atmospheric thriller and a consternating study of the horrors of fundamentalism grim, compelling and ultimately bracing reading - Irish Independent

Searingly powerful a fable and parable for all times and ours in particular sublimely written - Stevie Davies, Independent

Bennett is a gifted writer with relentless fascination for misery Independent on Sunday, 12/6/05 - Independent on Sunday
