Dark secrets and reality unravel in Shroud, the second novel in John Banville’s Cleave Trilogy, alongside Eclipse and Ancient Light. Axel Vander, distinguished intellectual and elderly academic, is not the man he seems.When a letter arrives out of the blue, threatening to unveil his secrets – and carefully concealed identity – Vander travels to Turin to meet its author. There, muddled by age and alcohol, unable always to distinguish fact from fiction, Vander comes face to face with the woman who has the knowledge to unmask him, Cass Cleave. However, her sense of reality is as unreliable as his, and the two are quickly drawn together, their relationship dark, disturbed and doomed to disaster from its very start.‘Shroud will not be easily surpassed for its combination of wit, moral complexity and compassion. It is hard to see what more a novel could do’ – The Irish TimesNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.

He wants to retire from life, but finds this impossible in a house brimming with presences, some ghostly, some undeniably human.Memories and anxiety for the future, and more particularly for his beloved but troubled daughter, conspire to distract him from his dreaming retirement.This humane and beautifully written story tells the tragic tale of a man, intelligent, preposterous and vulnerable, who in attempting to bring the performance to a close finds himself travelling inevitably towards a devastating denouement.‘This unsparing, compassionate, humane book demonstrates again that Banville is in a class of his own’ – The SpectatorContinue the story with Shroud.Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
