I love Jennifer Haigh.
MRS. KIMBLE was one of my all time favorite books.
Couldn’t put it down.
Well, Ms. Haigh has hit it out of the park again. Her latest book, FAITH, explores the repercussions of one family’s history of silence, when a priest’s sex scandal forces his family’s untold past to surface.
The reviews are in and they are great. She has received starred reviews in Kirkus, Publishers Weekly and Booklist.
“Haigh deals with complex moral issues in subtle ways, and her narrative is beautifully, sometimes achingly poignant.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Haigh explores the intersections of public scandal and personal tragedy in her superb fourth novel. . . . At its broadest, this is a frank and timely story of familial and institutional heredity; at its most personal, the novel is a devastating portrait of a priest who discovers that he’s also a man.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“With an exquisite sense of drama and mystery, Haigh delivers a taut, well-crafted tale that potently but subtly explores myriad gray areas within essential issues of truth and trust, punishment and absolution. Indelibly rendered characters, suspenseful pacing, and fearless but sensitive handling of a controversial subject will make this a must-read for book discussion groups.” — Booklist (starred review)
Library Journal says “The narrative is emotionally involving and ethically concise, reminding us that things are not always as they seem and that we must consider carefully how we judge others.”
The book just went on sale yesterday. If you'd like a copy, comment below, first 10 receive a copy.
Worried you won’t be one of the lucky ones to receive the book?
Have a little FAITH!
