Literary Fiction
by Paul Kingsnorth · Buccmaster Trilogy series
After his sons are killed at the Battle of Hastings and his family and farm are destroyed by the Norman invaders, Buccmaster leads a group of fighters on a quest of revenge. Written entirely in a constructed shadow-tongue of Old English, this is a searing portrait of conquest, dispossession, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive catastrophic loss.
