What is Quarantine about?
242 pages ; 20 cm, \"A re-imagining of the forty days Christ spent in the wilderness being tempted by the devil.\" \"Judea, about two thousand years ago: There were five of them - not in a group, but strung out along the road where earlier that morning the caravan of uncles had passed by. Three men, a woman, and, too far behind for anyone to guess its gender, a fifth. And this fifth was barefoot, and without a staff. No water-skin, or bag of clothes. No food. A slow, painstaking figure, made thin and watery by the rising, mirage heat, as if someone had thrown a stone into the pool of air through which it walked and ripples had diluted it.\"--Jacket, Originally published: London : Viking, 1997
