Set in the years after the Norman invasion of England, The Wake tells the story of a fractured band of guerrilla fighters who take up arms against the invaders. Based on known historical facts about the almost forgotten war of resistance that spread across England in the decade after 1066, it is a story of the brutal shattering of lives, a tale of lost gods and haunted visions, narrated by a man of the Lincolnshire fens bearing witness to the end of his world. 2014.
