Description

Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth. Winner of the 1992 Booker Prize. Set in the period covering 1752 and 1765... it concerns the entangled and conflicting fortunes of two cousins: Erasmus Kemp, the son of a Lancashire merchant, and Matthew Paris, a scholar and surgeon just released from prison for 'denying Holy Writ'.. The Lancashire Merchant is the vessel on which the whole of the novel hinges, and carries the reader deep into the history of man's iniquitous greed... As regards its dramatic breadth and energy. The book has medium general wear but remains tight and bright.
