About the Book

In the aftermath of the Norman Invasion of 1066, William the Conqueror was uncompromising and brutal. English society was broken apart, its systems turned on their head. What is little known is that a fractured network of guerrilla fighters took up arms against the French occupiers. In The Wake, a postapocalyptic novel set a thousand years in the past, Paul Kingsnorth brings this dire scenario back to us through the eyes of the unforgettable Buccmaster, a proud landowner bearing witness to the end of his world. Accompanied by a band of like-minded men, Buccmaster is determined to seek revenge on the invaders. But as the men travel across the scorched English landscape, Buccmaster becomes increasingly unhinged by the immensity of his loss, and their path forward becomes increasingly unclear. Written in what the author describes as a shadow tongue--a version of Old English updated so as to be understandable to a modern audience--The Wake renders the inner life of an Anglo-Saxon man with an accuracy and immediacy rare in historical fiction.

About the Author :
Paul Kingsnorth's debut novel, The Wake, won the 2014 Gordon Burn Prize; was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, the Folio Prize, and the Desmond Elliott Prize; and was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. He is also the author of two nonfiction books, One No, Many Yeses and Real England, as well as a poetry collection, Kidland. He cofounded the Dark Mountain Project, a global network of writers, artists and thinkers in search of new stories for a world on the brink. Simon Vance is an award-winning actor and an AudioFile Golden Voice with over fifty Earphones Awards and thirteen prestigious Audie Awards. He was named Booklist's very first Voice of Choice in 2008 and an AudioFile Best Voice of 2009.

Review :
[R]ich in ghosts and the old gods, is daring...-- "Kirkus" "A work that is as disturbing as it is empathetic, as beautiful as it is riveting." -- " New Statesman" "At once invigorating and terrifying. History almost a thousand years old feels intense and immediate, as close as the blood in one's veins and the memories one can't escape." -- "Minneapolis Star Tribune" "Earthy, rude, rough-hewn lyricism...A war epic, psychological thriller, and brooding meditation on the past's foreignness all in one." -- " Globe and Mail (Toronto)"
