The Second Sleep by Robert Harris

1468 England
A priest travels to the countryside to replace the local parish priest who has just passed away suddenly. Soon Father Fairfax is pulled into a mysterious discovery and possible conspiracy that the church doesn't want to be shared, the locals fear and knowledge that will change his life forever. Mysterious and well written - the story pulls you in and involves you in a bit of a quandary. Is what we think of as ancient history really ancient or has it all happened before. Not quite a murder mystery or love story and one with elements of science fiction and certainly historical fiction, this is a difficult novel to pigeonhole into any one genre but it will have you asking questions. This book will attract readers from many different areas.
