Did Mantel's 'Wolf Hall' -- due in paperback August 31st -- and Mitchell's 'Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet', whet your appetite for great historical fiction? Try Barry Unsworth. Author of 18 books, he ranges from the Booker-Prize-winning epic 'Sacred Hunger', about the slave trade, to 'Morality Play', a page-turner of a medieval murder mystery. He's a regular on year-end 'best book' lists.
Not to give Mantel or Mitchell short shrift... they're also Booker winners or short-listers, with Mitchell favored to win this year. If you haven't read them, by all means do! Unsworth just doesn't get as much press. We have lots of used copies in stock between Phoenix, Red Hill and Dog Eared.
