Description
Blessed Assurance by Stewart Ennis is a coming-of-age novel set in a small Scottish village during the late 1960s. Against the backdrop of a fog-bound December, the story follows Joseph Kirkland, an eleven-year-old boy struggling with his faith and sense of belonging. As Joseph navigates six soul-searching days, he grapples with feelings of guilt and loneliness, seeking to make amends for what he perceives as a terrible lie. His friendship with Archie Truman provides a counterbalance to the turmoil, but ultimately, Joseph must confront the complexities of his own faith and the compromises that come with it. This novel explores themes of family, friendship, faith, and grief, weaving together moments of tenderness, tragedy, and occasional humour.
