It genuinely brings the period to life.” - The Bookseller
“Beautiful, thorny jacket for this beautiful literary novel. “What a fabulous book! I fell into this world completely and was sorry to come out. Truly, truly remarkable.” - Karen Joy Fowler. “The novel resonates to many of the same chords as Beowulf, the legends of King Arthur, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones-to the extent that Hild begins to feel like the classic on which those books are based.” - Neal Stephenson. “…dazzling… Griffith’s lyrical prose emphasizes the savagery of the political landscape, in which religion, sex, and superstition are wielded mercilessly for personal gain.” - Paris Review Daily. To read it felt like a privilege and a gift.” - NPR “ Hild is a book as loving as it is fierce, brilliant and accomplished. Griffith illuminates the so-called Dark Ages, reconstructing an often alien historical world with great precision.” - BBC History Magazine “Vivid, richly detailed…a powerful, clever novel. “A magnificent and convincing portrayal of a strange, wild, beautiful world.” - Guardian. “In it’s ambition and intelligence, Hild might best be compared to Hilary Mantel’s novels about Thomas Cromwell.” - Bookforum.
