A realistic Christian novel of hope in a non-Christian age." New England Quarterly"A deeply felt and eloquently expressed work . . . A quiet, gentle novel of considerable insight and charm . . ." Library Journal "O'Connor succeeds in delineating poignantly the overwhelming spiritual storms of the soul which assail the conscientious clergyman." The Christian Century Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction In this moving novel, Father Hugh Kennedy, a recovering alcoholic, returns to Boston to repair his damaged priesthood. There he is drawn into the unruly world of the Carmodys, a sprawling, prosperous Irish family teeming with passion and riddled with secrets.
