timeThe Time of the Angels

by Iris Murdoch

ISBN : 9780099429098

An Anglican priest loses his faith and sends his family and parish spinning into chaos. Father Carel Fisher’s London rectory—like his faith—is a shell. The rectory remains hollowed and broken from bombs dropped in the Second World War, while his religious passion abandoned him long ago. As Carel becomes a shut-in, his brother Marcus sets out to save him before it’s too late. Rich and complex, The Time of the Angels is a powerful story of a man’s descent into madness, and the destruction he wreaks along the way.
