Description
Lent 1977 is a year of turmoil for Catholic priest Andrew Boulton. As he navigates the complexities of the post-Vatican Council era, he finds himself torn between traditionalist and modernist factions within the Church. On one hand, he is drawn to the conservative views of his old mentor Monsignor Charlie Payne; on the other, he faces opposition from the newly appointed area bishop Michael Follett. As Lent progresses, Andrew's personal struggles intensify, threatening to overwhelm him. His efforts to support a young parishioner with dyslexia become increasingly important, but they also serve as a reminder of his own feelings of isolation and disillusionment. The tension builds towards a dramatic climax on Maundy Thursday night, when a shocking act of betrayal will change Andrew's life forever. This novel explores the inner turmoil of a Catholic priest struggling to find his place within the Church during a time of great upheaval.
