5 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
A new novel from one of Canadas most acclaimed and celebrated writers, AGAINST A DARKENING SKY is set in 7th century Northumbria and is the story of Wilona, a seeress and healer whose life and way of being in the world are threatened by the coming of Christianity; and Egan, a young monk from Eire whose visions may have brought him to Christ, but whose experience of the sacred puts him at odds with the Roman church. Full of magic and mystery, Daviss new work explores what happens when ones experience and beliefs clash with those of the people in power.

Mehso-so

This was a quick and easy read. Nothing to rush out and buy but a good representation of 7th century Britain and a good palate cleanser after reading about Ted Bundy. I really enjoyed the way the author talked about the old British gods and the transition from that worship to Christianity in one small village.

UrsulaMonarch Your review makes it sound really good! 7y

Georgia and I are finding this to be a pleasant enough light read. Set in 7th century Northumbria, it follows the clash of the old pagan gods and early Christianity, through the lens of a young priest and his counter part, a young medicine woman of the old gods. #historicalfiction #dogsoflitsy

Realized this morning that I've managed to acquire two copies of this book so that solved the question of which book to bring to the Litsy bookswap at #BookRiotLive. #chizine #specfic #CanLit
