Immerse yourself in the stories of Ulverton, as heard on BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime ''Sometimes you forget that it is a novel, and believe for a moment that you are really hearing the voice of the dead'' Hilary Mantel At the heart of this novel lies the fictional village of Ulverton. It is the fixed point in a book that spans three hundred years. Different voices tell the story of Ulverton: one of Cromwell''s soldiers staggers home to find his wife remarried and promptly disappears, an eighteenth century farmer carries on an affair with a maid under his wife''s nose, a mother writes letters to her imprisoned son, a 1980s real estate company discover a soldier''s skeleton, dated to the time of Cromwell... Told through diaries, sermons, letters, drunken pub conversations and film scripts, this is a masterful novel that reconstructs the unrecorded history of England.
