The Lost Book of the Grail: A Novel

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookmanâ€™s Tale comes a new novel about an obsessive bibliophileâ€™s quest through time to discover a missing manuscript, the unknown history of an English Cathedral, and the secret of the Holy Grail

Arthur Prescott is happiest when surrounded by the ancient books and manuscripts of the Barchester Cathedral library. Increasingly, he feels like a fish out of water among the concrete buildings of the University of Barchester, where he works as an English professor. His one respite is his time spent nestled in the library, nurturing his secret obsession with the Holy Grail and researching his perennially unfinished guidebook to the medieval cathedral.

But when a beautiful young American named Bethany Davis arrives in Barchester charged with the task of digitizing the libraryâ€™s manuscripts, Arthurâ€™s tranquility is broken. Appalled by the threat modern technology poses to the library he loves, he sets out to thwart Bethany, only to find in her a kindred spirit with a similar love for knowledge and booksâ€”and a fellow Grail fanatic.
Â
Bethany soon joins Arthur in a quest to find the lost Book of Ewolda, the ancient manuscript telling the story of the cathedralâ€™s founder. And when the future of the cathedral itself is threatened, Arthur and Bethanyâ€™s search takes on grave importance, leading the pair to discover secrets about the cathedral, about the Grail, and about themselves.

â€œLovett's unique work combines literary and historical research with classic elements of cozy mysteries, classic love stories, and exciting adventure tales to create a true genre-blending masterpiece. At once funny, heartwarming, and suspenseful,Â The Lost Book of the GrailÂ has something for every kind of reader, and every kind of book-lover, alike.â€Â â€”Bustle
