The downtrodden wife of an archer seeks the truth in stone walls, in meadows full of garlic flowers.
A group of soldiers sit out their last hours before their death under a vaulted ceiling.
The professor receives unwelcome night-time visitors.
A young man bids his dying mother goodbye, and sets off on his first day of work as a labourer.
From these seeds of historical truth and strange mythology, Benjamin Myers spins an unforgettable story of love and loss that breaks free of realism, entering a thrilling space both hilarious and terrifying. Unfolding over centuries, deploying a panoply of voices, Cuddy is written with Myers' inimitable humour, pathos and grace - and confirms him as one of the most important writers of his generation.
