Sinopsis
With an introduction by Meg Rosoff
William Goldings final novel, left in draft at his death, tells the story of a priestess of Apollo. Arieka is one of the last to prophesy at Delphi, in the shadowy years when the Romans were securing their grip on the tribes and cities of Greece. The plain, unloved daughter of a local grandee, she is rescued from the contempt and neglect of her family by her Delphic role. Her ambiguous attitude to the god and her belief in him seem to move in parallel with the decline of the god himself - but things are more complicated than they appear.
A remarkable work ... A compelling storyteller as well as a clear-eyed philosopher of the dangerous puzzles of being human.The Times
A wonderful central character. The story stretches out as clean and dry and clear as the beach in Lord of the Flies.Independent
Feline, deadpan and at moments hilarious.Observer
