Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable and particularly internally,is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation,for a book of its 25+ year-old age. It is only the minimal faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading.Despite them it really is still an exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults.
Will Swift has everything.Handsome, famous, revered, he is the world's greatest wildlife photographer, known for capturing the beauty, terror and tragedy of nature. Yet deep inside, Will is a haunted man.In a coma after he is mauled by a rogue polar bear, Will remembers and relives the seminal event of his childhood: an encounter with ancient and evil forces who showed him the mystery at the heart of nature.He also relives his bitter-sweet adolescence: the early death of his brother,mythical English summers; the friends he loved and lost. . . When he awakens,he knows he must return to his Yorkshire home to begin the restorative process of mending his soul,and to confront the kernel of darkness at the heart of his childhood: for he is about to engage in a war not only for his ownsoul,but for the soul of the planet,and every animal that breathes upon it.
'Sacrament' is a novel for everyone who ever had a secret,a family and a love of the natural world.
