The Quincunx is an epic Dickensian-like mystery novel set in 19th century England, and concerns the varying fortunes of young John Huffam and his mother. Every revelation of a new branch of John's grasping family - the Clothiers, the Palphramonds, the Malaphants - brings new threats to John, betrayed at every turn by false friends who steal his property, apprentice him to a gang of thieves, send him to an isolated prison farm to die, and commit him to a madhouse.

About this product
Product Information
The Quincunx is an epic Dickensian-like mystery novel set in 19th century England, and concerns the varying fortunes of young John Huffam and his mother. A thrilling complex plot is made more intriguing by the unreliable narrator of the book - how much can we believe of what he says? First published in 1989, The Quincunx was a surprise bestseller and began a trend for pastiche Victorian novels. It remains one of the best.Product Identifiers
