Bodies and Souls
 
Tom Stacey's men are the kind who used to be called "real men"- the sort who don't eat quiche....To watch these stoical figures crumble as their worlds take on unforeseen shapes, shapes that turn their spruce manliness into a handicap, is a moving experience. People like these are seldom met in fiction and deserve a hearing'
Penny Perrick, Sunday Times

A failed businessman makes a strange pact with his femme fatale; a young Cotswolds landowner is lured to unexplored Africa; a Welsh sheep farmer is victim of a mysteriously blighted radioactive world; a holidaying MP serves out an ancient vengeance; a diplomat's future hangs on the fate of a lawless Scot... In each case, life's hidden depths well up to confront or devastate the ordered surface of existence.
