The Constant Foreigner
Seller: Kennys Bookstore, Olney, MD, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: New. 2021. Paperback. Signed by the Author. In the Constant Foreigner, Séamus Mannion takes us on a journey through his youth, from the sandstone tenements of the west end of Glasgow to the granite college of Blairs in Aberdeen. He show-cases an indelible Irish Catholic influence that impacts his early life and informs the choices he makes. At a young age he decides that he wants to become a priest, and joins hundreds of young men from across Scotland who made the same life choice, and begins his studies in Langbank, near Glasgow and later in Blairs, Aberdeen. At eighteen an unexpected diversion to Spain challenges his chosen path to remain in Scotland, transporting him to a major seminary in the heart of Castile and Leon. His cultural immersion and the impacts of 1970s Franco Spain introduce him to new life experiences. We read about the influences that challenge his vocation to the priesthood as he experiences Spanish life, its food, music and women. This candid portrayal of growing up, is a compelling and moving story. . . . . Books ship from the US and Ireland. Seller Inventory # 9781838111922
