For while his hand was touching her, curved round her shin, the couple seemed to have achieved that peace the world denies, a period of grace, defying even murder. Anyone who found them there, so wickedly disfigured, would nevertheless be bound to see that something of their love had survived the death of cells. The corpses were surrendered to the weather and the earth, but they were still a man and wife, quietly resting; flesh on flesh; dead, but not departed yet.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Crace\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven novels, including \u003ci\u003eQuarantine, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich won the 1997 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award and was shortlisted for the 1997 Booker Prize for Fiction.
