Set during the Norman invasion of 1066, The Wake follows the Buccmaster of Holland, a landowning farmer in Lincolnshire, as he navigates a world transformed by violence and loss. Using a 'shadow tongue' inspired by Old English, the novel offers a compelling depiction of faith, homeland, and identity amidst chaos, capturing a haunting and immersive portrayal of a period steeped in folklore and upheaval.
