Worship

I laughed, I cried, was bowled over and then re-thought every friendship I ever had. WORSHIP is a dazzlingly witty punch to the gut, an Arthurian answer to love in modern times. Winn is a once-in-a-lifetime talent and WORSHIP is unlike anything you’ve ever read – Yael van der Wouden, author of THE SAFEKEEP
In WORSHIP, Alice Winn has done something very special: created a vision of the medieval world that is both authentic and utterly her own. Funny, deliciously weird and - in the end - deeply moving, this book is a golden addition to the legend of King Arthur – Dan Jones
Taking you captive from the first sentence, Alice Winn’s WORSHIP never lets go in this tumultuous reimagining of Arthurian legend. Her knights and princesses are gloriously, imperfectly human, as likely to be undone by their own feelings as by any enemy. Completely different in tone, content and style from her debut, IN MEMORIAM, WORSHIP is destined to become another instant classic in a genre all its own – Hannah Rothschild, author of MASTERPIECE
Alice Winn builds a brilliant, beguiling world from the materials of medieval chivalry. Her book is witty and surprising at every turn, and utterly involving. Poised between the fifteenth and twenty-first centuries, Winn’s prose captures the timelessness of stories of honour and chivalry, love and tragedy – Antony Bale, author of A TRAVEL GUIDE TO THE MIDDLE AGES
A profound and beautifully written reimagining of one of Britain’s oldest legends. Alice Winn returns to the story of Tristram and Isode and finds in it something urgent and deeply human. Worship is a searching novel about faith, love and sacrifice, intelligently written and alive to the strangeness of the medieval world. A triumph! – Alice Loxton
To create a novel that is sharply aware of all the ironies of knightly myths while also turning mythic figures Tristram and Isode into living, breathing human beings, is perhaps something only the ingenious Alice Winn could do. WORSHIP is a funny and moving novel about yearning, rivalry and messy love triangles, that brings an ancient story to life in a clever, playful and intimate way – Joanna Quinn, author of THE WHALEBONE THEATRE
Winn brings the Arthurian world rip-roaringly to life in inimitable style. WORSHIP is gripping, funny and an utter delight – Ferdia Lennon

Alice Winn is the author of In Memoriam, which won the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize, Waterstones Novel of the Year, and was named Debut of the Year at the British Book Awards 2023. It was also a top five Sunday Times bestseller.
