Fludd
by
Hilary Mantel
3.51 · Rating details · 3,943 ratings · 307 reviews
One dark and stormy night in 1956, a stranger named Fludd mysteriously turns up in the dismal village of Fetherhoughton. He is the curate sent by the bishop to assist Father Angwin-or is he?
In the most unlikely of places, a superstitious town that understands little of romance or sentimentality, where bad blood between neighbors is ancient and impenetrable, miracles begin to bloom.
No matter how copiously Father Angwin drinks while he confesses his broken faith, the level of the bottle does not drop.
Although Fludd does not appear to be eating, the food on his plate disappears.
Fludd becomes lover, gravedigger, and savior, transforming his dull office into a golden regency of decision, unashamed sensation, and unprecedented action.
Knitting together the miraculous and the mundane, the dreadful and the ludicrous, Fludd is a tale of alchemy and transformation told with astonishing art, insight, humor, and wit.

A bit high-brow for me, but I may dust off my library ticket and give it a whirl. I'm in the mood for a good thriller and this could be give me a bit of zest to spice things up in my life.
Thanks Magnolia.
Gonna need photographic evidence of that I'm afraid.
This is a good question.

Ban please. This thread is evidence enough, 5 years or more of attention seeking nonsense.

You are?
Everyone knows that hot women are utterly bat-spit, and poor Mags has clearly been driven out of his wits by her... These seemingly-senseless posts of his are clearly the ramblings of a very troubled mind, henpecked to hell, gaslit beyond imagination, badgered to beggary, and the last feeble cries of his former sanity as it tapers off into oblivion... what more proof do you need?
It was like 5 years ago, i just remember him posting a picture of him and his wife in another thread and yeah she was hot, you're stereotypical Aussie blonde type. Maybe they broke up or something and he's going over old threads trying to find out where he went wrong

I don't think it's high-brow and it's certainly not going to take you too long to finish as it's a rather short book. It is tangentially related to my OP from 5 years back and while it's mainly a book about faith and redemption and it is beautifully written, it's really a gently comedic but also wistful look at human character.
Cheers @robgmun for the kind words, although my wife is a Kiwi not an Aussie
