Articoli correlati a The Bishop's Man
Father Duncan MacAskill has spent most of his priesthood as the 'Exorcist' - an enforcer employed by his bishop to discipline wayward clergy and suppress potential scandal. He knows all the devious ways that lonely priests persuade themselves that their needs trump their vows, but he's about to be sorely tested himself.
Sequestered in a small rural parish to avoid an impending public controversy, Duncan must confront the consequences of past cover-ups and the suppression of his own human needs. Pushed to the breaking point by loneliness, tragedy and sudden self-knowledge, Duncan discovers how hidden obsessions and guilty secrets either find their way to the light of understanding, or poison any chance we have for love and spiritual peace.

Recensione:
MacIntyre is a fine writer (Alistair Macleod)
Engrossing... a serious examination with the page-turning energy of a thriller (The Globe and Mail)
The Bishop's Man, longlisted for the 2011 International Impac Dublin Literary Award, is a strong novel, driven by its narrator's remorse and fragile hopes. Above all it makes powerful use of its setting as the outer edges of Canada. (Eileen Battersby The Irish Times)
