The Turn of Midnight by Minette Walters

The future will be bright indeed when even the humblest are given the chance to prove their worth.

The world after the Black Death has struck it no longer looks the same. The population has been ravaged, and land-owners must accept increasingly equitable social structures to sustain their holdings and attract labourers. Although it feels as though The Turn of Midnight deals more with archetypes than characters, it provides an engaging glimpse of a world at the brink of cataclysmic change.
