The Western Wind by Samantha Harvey
Set in a small medieval English village in the year 1491, the story unfolds through the eyes of John Reve, the local priest, as he grapples with the mysterious death of a wealthy villager, Thomas Newman. The narrative is uniquely structured in reverse chronological order, unraveling the events leading up to the death over four days. As Reve navigates the intricacies of confession, faith, and human nature, he uncovers the hidden truths and secrets of the villagers, challenging his own beliefs and the moral fabric of the community. The tale is a profound exploration of guilt, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships.
