When we are born, we cry that we have come to this stage of fools
William Shakespeare, “King Lear”

In this extraordinary novel, Des Dillon mixes familiar with surreal to explore the dark side of humanity’s soul. Jane Eyre, beloved heroine of Charlotte Bronte’s novel, finds herself alone and lost on a stormbound moor. Her only hope comes when she finally stumbles across two men trying to find shelter. There’s only one problem, they claim to be King Lear and his faithful fool.
