The Quincunx

Charles Palliser

From Shelf: May or May Not Have Happened Just Like This - Big Old Historical and Tricksy Neo-Historical Fiction

A novel set in 19th century England that deals with the varying fortunes of young John Huffam and his mother.

The Quincunx is an epic Dickensian-like mystery novel set in 19th century England, and concerns the varying fortunes of young John Huffam and his mother. A thrilling complex plot is made more intriguing by the unreliable narrator of the book - how much can we believe of what he says? First published in 1989, The Quincunx was a surprise bestseller and began a trend for pastiche Victorian novels. It remains one of the best.
