An order of monks is persecuted for its refusal to abandon the Latin mass and private confession as ordered by the Vatican

Book Description
On a harsh, barren island off the coast of Ireland
stands Muck Abbey, the last spot on earth where
the traditional Latin Mass is still celebrated after the
reforms of the Fourth Vatican Council. A television
special has brought new attention and large crowds
to the activities on the island, to the displeasure of
church officials. Father James Kinsella is sent to put a
stop to things, but his confrontation with the monks,
especially the blunt Abbot O’Malley, will reveal
unexpected, challenging truths about all of them in
this spare, evocative novel of faith—and doubt.
From the Publisher
'Brian Moore is astonishing. He takes a superb new turn in Catholics ... dialogue so spare and true that it is difficult to imagine a more elegant novella, or to predict what he can do better.' - The Times
'Every character in a Moore novel is as real as the man sitting next to me on the tube.' - Independent
'He is an imaginative craftsman, who writes with perfect lucidity and economy.' - The Scotsman
'Anybody reading one of Moore's books will want to read them all.' - Sunday Telegraph
