Description

From the twice Man Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies and The Mirror & The Light a collection of three novels: A Place of Greater Safety, Beyond Black and The Giant, O'Brien.A Place of Greater Safety is a spellbinding, epic historical novel which recounts the stirring but blood-thirsty events of the French Revolution, as seen through the eyes of the Revolution's three protagonists - Georges-Jacques Danton, Maximilien Robespierre and Camille DesmoulinsIn The Giant, O'Brien, Charles O'Brien, bard and giant, is led from Ireland to seek his fortune beyond the seas in England.

The cynical are moved by his flights of romance; the craven stirred by his tales of epic deeds.

But in London is famed surgeon, John Hunter, who buys dead men from the gallows and babies' corpses by the inch - and he wants the Giant's bones.In Beyond Black we meet Alison Hart - medium by trade.

With her flat-eyed, flint-hearted sidekick, Colette, she tours the dormitory towns of London's orbital road, passing on messages from dead ancestors.

But Alison's ability to communicate with spirits is a torment rather than a gift and behind her plump, smiling and bland public persona is a desperate woman.
