| Summary |
Read by millions in thirty-two countries, soon to be a major motion picture, and voted "one of the ten most-beloved books of all time," here is the English-language edition of Noah Gordon's masterworkIn eleventh-century London, a child holds the hand of his dying mother and is terrified, aware "something" is taking her. Orphaned and given to an itinerant barber-surgeon, Rob Cole becomes a fast-talking swindler, peddling a worthless medicine. But as he matures, his strange gift-an acute sensitivity to impending death-never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer. |
