Description
A modern novel that tackles religion with serious intent, Michael Arditti's 'Easter' is a thought-provoking exploration of Western Christianity. Set against the backdrop of a London parish preparing for Easter, the story takes an unexpected turn, tearing apart the lives of its characters. Through meticulous observation of religious services, Arditti subjects high Church ritual, evangelical revivalism and ancestor-worship to scrutiny, revealing the complexities and contradictions within these traditions. The result is both an intimate portrait of contemporary faith and a reworking of the central myth of Western culture. With its unique blend of style and satire, 'Easter' is a powerful and unsettling read that will leave you considering the nature of faith and its place in our lives.
