I hate that I didn’t love this book as much as so many others did. I love the author’s descriptions and use of vivid language however I felt she told me the story instead of showed me the story through words.
It took about 100 pages of “back story” to get to the real story which I really was annoyed with, however once the story got going I found it complex and interesting.
I learned quite a bit about the church, life as a priest and the test of faith in general.
