Summary
ORDER NONESUCH, FRANCIS SPUFFORD’S NEW NOVEL, NOW
‘A truly majestic work of scholarship, thought and literary imagination.’ Jan Morris, The Times
‘Shot through with crystalline brilliance.’ Washington Post

Winner of the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, the Writers’ Guild Non-Fiction Book of the Year and the Banff Mountain Book Prize.
