Pilgrims 
by Matthew Kneale
Hardcover – 4 August 2020
RRP $34.99
A sweeping tale of intrigue and suspense from the award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of Sweet Thames and Rome: A History in Seven Sackings.
The year 1289. A rich farmer fears he’ll go to hell for cheating his neighbours. His wife wants pilgrim badges to sew into her hat and show off at church. A poor, ragged villager is convinced his beloved cat is suffering in the fires of purgatory and must be rescued. A mother is convinced her son’s dangerous illness is punishment for her own adultery and seeks forgiveness so he may be cured. A landlord is in trouble with the church after he punched an abbot on the nose. A sexually driven noblewoman seeks a divorce so she can marry her new young beau.

He has written five novels, including English Passengers, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award.
