A flawlessly presented tale that opens a window on human aspiration and folly, its revelations full of grit and glory. -- starred, "Kirkus Reviews"
A superbly crafted combination of historical and inspirational fiction that is genuinely unique. -- starred, "Publishers Weekly"
This is no simple retelling of an ancient story, but a modern and startling account of the birth and death of faith. In Crace's hands, Jesus is reconceived as Gally, a boy besotted with prayer and visions. "Quarantine" is the extraordinary re-imagining of the forty days Jesus Christ spent in the wilderness being tempted by the devil. Short-listed for the Booker Prize, this is a novel that you ll never forget.

The words have a steady flowing rhythm - relaxing and hypnotic. Sometimes flowing with the action, sometimes a counterpoint. Really takes the reader into the story, into the world. A very satisfying read.
