«The Second Sleep» is the historical suspense novel by Robert Harris, published by Penguin Random House in paperback (464 pages, in English).
In a world that has regressed to a pre-industrial era, a young priest travels to a remote village to officiate at his predecessor's funeral. His death, and the artefacts of the past the parson collected —coins, glass, human bones—, lead the protagonist to investigate: official history, his faith and everything he believes he knows begin to totter.
Novel published in 2019, nominated for the Kurd-Laßwitz Prize for best foreign work in 2020 and number one in sales according to The Sunday Times.
For readers of historical suspense, mystery and dystopia: an investigation in an isolated rural community.
