A really base and awful part of me wanted to hear her confession still, not so I could give her more specific counseling and assurance, but so that I could know exactly what carnal things this girl had to apologize for. And that involved me being incredibly circumspect both publicly and privately when it came to sexuality.

Luckily, he’s already got one in the shape of Zenny Iverson, the gorgeous girl he stole away from a convent (once upon a time).

The novel explores the taboo topic of a romantic relationship between a priest and a layperson and delves into the complex issues of faith, desire, and morality. I hoped that wherever she was, God was with her, comforting her, just as he’d comforted me so many times. I can’t have him because I broke his heart five years ago; because he’s now engaged to someone else—someone kind and dependable who deserves his whiskey eyes, his soft mouth, his fierce intellect. Moving past that would take more than a facelift for the building, but I wanted to show my parishioners that the church was able to change.

In my small, aging parish, there are usually one or two funerals a month, four or five weddings a year, Mass almost every day, and on Sundays more than once.

I fell asleep with the rosary beads clenched in my fist, as if they were an amulet to ward off unwanted thoughts. Now I am not Catholic but I am a Christian, so even though I am not a member of this specific denomination there were some aspects of the story I liked and other I did struggle with at times. Overall, “Priest” is a well-written and engaging novel that pushes the boundaries of traditional romance and delves into the complexities of human desire and faith. So even though her husky laugh echoed in my ears the rest of the day, I firmly and deliberately tamped down the memory of her voice and went on with my duties, the only exception being that I prayed an extra rosary or two for that woman, thinking of her plea.I could catch only the faintest suggestions of movement through the screen, what looked like glossy dark hair and what could have been the pale white of her face. This story made me feel different sorts of emotion that’s contagious and well balanced —I learned something too about the church and how to glorify God.
