Morality Play by Barry Unsworth

4.0

The historical setting was good, and the characters were believable. The narrator's voice, somewhat naive and simplistic, reminded me of the narrator of Eco's The Name of the Rose. One of the major themes is that we are all actors, whether we are in a play or not, and all find ourselves with roles to play - it brings into question how much control we really have over our own actions. A good, quick read.
