A short read which is big on ideas and hidden meanings. Set in a sanctuary graveyard and meeting place in Paris during its occupation by the English in the 100 years war, it isolates a slice of time. There's a real sense of chaos, both in the way people behave and the way they think, and massive tension throughout the story. This book is clearly an allegory for how we live now, so savour it slowly to get the whole flavour and meaning from it.
