Over his body stands another man, axe in hand. The gathered villagers must deal with the consequences of an act that no-one tried to stop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWIVENHOE is a haunting novel set in an alternate present, in a world that is slowly waking up to the fact that it is living through an environmental disaster.
