A richly rewarding read; heavy going at times, crammed with detail. The early descriptions of Roman Catholics burning at stakes are truly shocking.Funnily enough (don't know why I see this as odd) my favourite passage is the epilogue, which begins:
"It's not the fashion, I know, to have the Ghost speak the epilogue, but being now freed from all temporal restraints, I am well placed to do so. And what better voice than the unfettered soul of the subject of this story? No more muddy vesture of decay, my masters. I can speak directly to you all - whenever, wherever and whoever you may be."
There then follows 15 pages of brilliance.
