Into their midst comes Jean-Baptiste Baratte, a young, provincial engineer charged by the king with demolishing it.At first Baratte sees this as a chance to clear the burden of history, a fitting task for a modern man of reason. But before long, he begins to suspect that the destruction of the cemetery might be a prelude to his own.PRAISE FOR ANDREW MILLER'Unique, visionary, a master at unmasking humanity' Sarah Hall'A highly intelligent writer, both exciting and contemplative' The Times'A wonderful storyteller' Spectator
