Set some time in the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance, in the same genre of our-hero-wanders-across-a-European-panorama-of-plague-blood-and-bigotry as Marguerite Yourcenar's "The Abyss", Halldor Laxness's "The Happy Warriors" or Russell Hoban's "Pilgermann". It looked interesting but I didn't keep the review and nothing since has has reminded me of it. Anyone know what book I'm talking about? -- -- Jack Campin -- Room 1.36, Department of Computing & Electrical Engineering, Mountbatten Building, Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS TEL: 031 449 5111 ext 4192 FAX: 031 451 3431 INTERNET: jack@cee.hw.ac.uk JANET: possibly backwards BITNET: via UKACRL BANG!net: via mcsun & uknet
