Orgy & Hosanna
Lent 1977 is a particularly penitential season for Catholic priest Andrew Boulton. Attempting to be faithful to the Church to which he converted at Cambridge, he finds himself trying to steer an even path in the troubled waters following the Second Vatican Council. On the one hand, he is being courted by traditionalists in the shape of his old mentor Monsignor Charlie Payne and the devious Tridentine seminarian Aelred Blair, On the other hand he is being persecuted by the newly appointed area bishop Michael Follett who regards him as an awkward relic of the past. He attempts to escape from all this by devoting himself to his parish and particularly to helping a young parishioner with dyslexia, but, as the weeks progress, he finds himself increasingly overwhelmed, his anguish reflected in the unfolding Lenten liturgy. The climax takes place on Maundy Thursday night with a great act of betrayal.

I got this book from Library Thing to read and review. The part f the book I managed to get through was okay. However, I found it very difficult to read. Not sure how they got the .mobi version for my Kindle. I just know that pages were missing, there were strange page and line breaks in places they should not have been. I read about one-quarter and gave up because it was way too hard to read. If the author was sincere about reading and reviewing his book, he would have ensured I got a good, readable copy instead of the messy one I did. Even if it was free, I cannot read a book as poorly formatted as this one.
