When purity is not enough. North London 1936. Father Forrest is an inherently decent priest consumed by impure corporal thoughts. He has little possibility of ethical growth. When his secretary's young daughter dies, the tragedy stimulates a series of events which contribute to obsession, misfortune and blackmail. It will take a chance meeting with an unscrupulous young woman, the sudden reasonless death of his demented mother, a fortuitous brush with an elderly ex woman prisoner and combating an evil and vicious thug before he is able to come to terms with his moral struggle. This is a character-driven novel. You won't get any cute Hollywood endings here!
