Résumé : 'Truly compelling' Sunday Times
The year is 1016 and England burns, while the advancing Viking armies blockade the great city of London. King Ethelred lies dying and the England he knew dies with him. One man lives to bear witness to the upheaval: Godwin, barely out of boyhood and destined to become one of his country's great warriors. With epic courage and ferocity, Godwin and Ethelred's son Edmund repel the butchering Danes in three great battles. But an old enemy, the treacherous Earl Eadric, dogs Godwin's footsteps, and as the final battle approaches, around the valiant English the trap begins to close.
Vivid and tense, Justin Hill's Shield Wall is a thrilling tale of tragedy, courage and adventure.
'Inspired . . . With wonderful, poetic passages, Hill reaches beyond the limits of the genre and ... harks back to the halls of our Saxon forebears in those dark days' Ian Mortimer, Guardian
'Written in supple, intelligent prose . . . Shieldwall is a vivid historical novel . . . Entirely convincing' Nick Rennison, Sunday Times
Biographie:
Justin Hill was born in the Bahamas, and grew up in York, attending St Peter's School. He studied Old England and Medieval Literature at Durham University, and spent most of his twenties on postings with Voluntary Service Overseas in rural China and East Africa.
He has written poetry, non-fiction and fiction, which spans eras as distant from one another as Anglo Saxon England, in Shieldwall, to Tang Dynasty, China, in Passing Under Heaven. His work has won numerous awards, including the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award, a Betty Trask Award, as well as being selected as a Sunday Times Book of the Year (Shieldwall) and a Washington Post Books of the Year (The Drink and Dream Teahouse).
In 2014 he was selected to write the sequel to the Oscar winning film, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
He lives near York....
