The story of Reyhnard, Prince turned itinerant labourer, is a wonderfully grim tale about the son of a brutally pragmatic king and how his life turns out. It’s a superb meditation on power and who deserves to hold on to it. Published when the author was only 24 it’s a much more polished novel than experienced writers can dream of and a wondrous experience to read. Find out more at Stuffianlikes.com
