       From the reviews:

      ‘A tour de force … Susan Howatch has been likened to a twentieth-century version of Trollope. To make such a comparison is to fail to do her justice’

       Church of England. Newspaper

      ‘Howatch writes thrillers of the heart and mind … everything in a Howatch novel cuts close to the bone and is of vital concern’

       New Woman

      ‘Riveting … extremely moving and often very funny … She is a deft storyteller, and her writing has depth, grace and pace’

       Sunday Times

      ‘She is writing for anyone who can recognise that mysterious gift of the true storyteller’

       Daily Telegraph

      ‘One of the most original novelists writing today’

       Cosmopolitan

      ‘The best female writer in Britain today’

       Birmingham Evening Mail

       Dedication

      This book is dedicated to all my friends among the clergy of the Anglican Communion (and in particular the Church of England) with thanks for their support and encouragement. My special thanks also goes to Alex Wedderspoon for his great sermon preached in Guildford Cathedral in 1987 on the eighth chapter of St Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, verse twenty-eight.
