Company of Liars by Karen Maitland


What an enjoyable read! I picked up this adult advanced reading copy at ALA this week and read it on the plane ride home. Because of Mrs. Bugg and English 12 College Prep, I love the Canterbury Tales, so I love to read anything about them. This novel is a loose reinterpretation of the pilgrimage. The plague is spreading throughout England, and the travelers all have their secrets that Chaucer never told. I couldn't exactly identify all the characters (I couldn't remember them and didn't have wi-fi access in the air), but still enjoyed the storytelling.
