In the Falcon's Claw: A Novel of the Year 1000A Novel of the Year 1000 Based on real events, places and people, this strange and beautiful book is a magical evocation of the political and pastoral landscapes of tenth-century Europe and a resonant tale of love and friendship. In startlingly beautiful prose - solemn, brooding and voluptuous - which has long distinguished his non-fiction writing, Chet Raymo brings the distant past to life whilst exploring ageless questions of faith and spirit. |
