As the author himself states, if this work does not affect you, then you have no soul.
Without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the best books I have ever read. The characters are gone into in depth and one feels their anguish and pain.
Monseignor Blaize Meredith is sent to a remote area in Italy to investigate a supposed miracle. He is in fact terminally ill and his days are numbered. The more he gets to know the characters he meets, the more he begins to understand himself. My heart went out to him and I felt so sorry for him.
This is a work not to be missed and ranks in the top five novels I have ever read. It is many years now since I first read it, but I have never known another like it.

I was unable to put this down so it was a good job I was on holiday or may have been very late for work! It is a fascinating and moving read and I would not be surprised if it has changed every one of its reader's for the better. Its the kind of book you want to talk about and share with all your friends as you wont want them to miss out on the adventure and moving experience that it has to offer.
