 | The Gift of Stones by Jim Crace
This lyrical and deeply imagined novel is set on the coast of what seems to be England near the end of the Stone Age in a prosperous community of stoneworkers. A one-armed boy who has no function in the society ventures outside their enclave and, returning with fantastic tales of the outside world, becomes the community bard. When he brings back a strange, disruptive woman, it gradually becomes clear that the end of this complacent, enclosed, and doomed band of craftspeople is about to come--that the Bronze Age is dawning--and it is up to the one-armed bard to find a new way for them to live.
