A stranger arrives in a small English village during a harsh winter, wrapped in bandages and determined to be left alone. At first, he is simply an oddity. Then the questions begin. Why won’t he show his face. What is he working on. And why do strange things seem to happen wherever he goes.What unfolds is part mystery, part character study, and part unsettling experiment in what happens when one man gains a power he cannot control. As curiosity turns to suspicion, and suspicion to fear, the village is drawn into something far more dangerous than it first appears.This is not a formal academic study guide, and it does not try to be. It is a readable companion designed to deepen your understanding without getting in the way of the story.
