Easter

Winner of the Mardi Gras and Waterstone's Book awards, longlisted for the Costa Novel award. In a fictional climate dominated by materialism, Easter stands apart in its bold exploration of the nature of God, the problem of suffering and the existence of evil. With an unforgettable gallery of characters ranging from a Holocaust survivor and an African princess to AIDS patients and Queen Elizabeth II, Arditti paints a dazzling panorama of contemporary society. In its radical fusion of the sacred and profane, Easter throws down a challenge to believers and non-believers alike.
