Books like The Chalice by Phil Rickman
Glastonbury, famed as the legendary resting place of the Holy Grail, becomes the backdrop for a tense clash over a new motorway and the town’s deep‑seated divisions between locals and pilgrims. Diane Flitch, a plump and seemingly uneasy returnee, confronts personal turmoil—her broken engagement, her aristocratic family’s expectations, and her affinity with New Age companions. Together with a local bookseller, Juanita Carey, and writer Joe Powys, Diane must navigate increasing violence and death that threaten to split the community further. Their journey leads them toward the most ominous possibility: the existence of a dark, anti‑Grail chalice that threatens to plunge Glastonbury into deeper mystery and peril.
