Boyne John

Opis

The life of a good priest in Ireland over the past 50 years provokes one of John Boyne's most powerful novels yet

Recenzje

An urgently compelling story of power, corruption, lies and self-deceits, the damage that happens when we turn our eyes from wrong. Anyone who wants to know what happened in the Irish Catholic Church needs to read this brave, righteously angry and stunning book. Some of us have long wondered what it would be like if a master storyteller turned his powers to this theme. Now we know. Joseph O'Connor
