I picked this up from the Incomparable podcast's winter reading list episode over on 5by5 – recommended by David J. Loehr on Episode 171. I enjoyed it absolutely and am looking forward to the following books in the trilogy. The writing style reminded me a little of one of my favourites, John Irving, and the production of the audiobook version on Audible was top drawer. I shall forever recall the two-hour listening session as I got lost in the woods in the rain on Sunday morning just past whilst walking the dogs.
I will write a review later, if I don't forget. I am glad I took my friend's advise to read this book. As a lover of saints I especially loved Davies' exploration of what the concept of “Saint” means in my life.
