About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

During a vicious persecution of the clergy in Mexico, a worldly priest, the 'whisky priest', is on the run. With the police closing in, his routes of escape are being shut off, his chances getting fewer. But compassion and humanity force him along the road to his destiny, reluctant to abandon those who need him, and those he cares for.

Refreshing. Funny. Relatively light-hearted and endearing. More words are required here to be written here.

Tried this as just finished the excellent “The Quiet American” and wanted more GG. This book is reviewed favourably everywhere and described as a GG “masterpiece”. I must be missing something. I found it disappointing.
