About this title

Synopsis

On a remote isle off the Kerry coast, a group of monks has decided to take a stand against its masters in Rome - contrary to modem edicts, the brethren have chosen to retain the old traditions and ceremonies of worship. Their ancient practices do not go unnoticed however, and as they start to attract crowds of curious tourists pilgrims even - someone has to stop them. But when Father James Kinsella arrives with strict orders from the Vatican, he does not find, as he anticipates, a community united in defiance, but one riven by dogma and doubt ... In this masterly evocation of an island brotherhood, Brian Moore explores the subtle boundaries that shift between duty and faith, between obedience and dissent.

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.
