Father Angwin, the town's cynical priest, has lost his faith, and wants nothing more than to be left alone. Sister Philomena strains against the monotony of convent life and the pettiness of her fellow nuns. The rest of the town goes about their lives in a haze, a never-ending procession of grim, grey days stretching ahead of them.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eYet all of that is about to change. A strange visitor appears one stormy night, bringing with him the hint, the taste of something entirely new, something unknown. But who is Fludd? An angel come to shake the Fetherhoughtonians from their stupor, to reawaken Father Angwin's faith, to show Philomena the nature of love? Or is he the devil himself, a shadowy wanderer of the darkest places in the human heart?\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eFull of dry wit, compassionate characterisations and cutting insight, Fludd is a brilliant gem of a book, and one of Hilary Mantel's most original works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eHilary Mantel is the author of seventeen books, including \u003cem\u003eA Place of Greater Safety\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBeyond Black\u003c\/em\u003e, the memoir \u003cem\u003eGiving Up the Ghost\u003c\/em\u003e and the short story collection \u003cem\u003eThe Assassination of Margaret Thatcher\u003c\/em\u003e.
