Angels and Men
Angels and Men | Catherine Fox
12 posts | 1 read | 13 to read
Parson's daughter Mara Johns arrives as a postgraduate student at a great northern cathedral city. Antagonistic to the church and fiercely independent, she repels all friendly overtures and seeks spiritual answers in her theological research. But when her past involvement in an extreme sect resurfaces, she finds her quest won't stay academic. Nor can she hold out against her persistent would-be friends. Gradually she unbends and laughs with Maddy and May; locks horns with the insufferable 'polecat'and finds herself torn between the attentions of two suitors. But they are both ordinands, and she's vowed she'll never marry a vicar.

CarolynM @Ruthiella I don't know about that, but they're all books that have made me think about something in a different way. 5y
Ruthiella @CarolynM What I mean is they are titles of authors unfamiliar to me. 😀 5y

I came across a review of one of Catherine Fox's other books written by another author I like very much which made me want to reread this - probably my favourite book. It's not perfect, and I recognised the truth of some of the criticism it has received, but I still love it. I relate to it strongly and find a lot to think about in it's examination of faith lost and found.

Rissreads I plan to read Between a wolf and a dog this month. 6y
MrsMalaprop The two I‘ve read, Joan London & Georgia Blain, were most excellent @Rissreads I‘ve read some mediocre reviews of The Golden Age, but I thought it was wonderful. Looking forward to seeing her at The Ubud Writers Festival next month. 6y
Rissreads @MrsMalaprop what writers festival? 6y

Rissreads @MrsMalaprop bloody too far for me! 6y
CarolynM @MrsMalaprop I'm quite a fan of Joan London, but I have to agree with @Rissreads Ubud is a long way to go just to see her! Still, I look forward to hearing about it🙂 6y
MrsMalaprop Not going specifically for her of course 😄. Looking forward to seeing many interesting authors there. Will be sure to post about it 👍. 6y

#MarchIntoOz #DontBelieveAnymore

This is the story of Mara, a vicar's daughter who doesn't believe anymore. As a post graduate student she becomes involved with students at an Anglican theological college and begins to come to terms with her past. I love the way the story is told completely from Mara's point of view so that it is only the things others say that give you any other perspective. I think it's my favourite book.

MayJasper So glad you enjoyed #coversublime 😍 7y
RaimeyGallant Nice review. :) 7y
TrishB I love the way you say - I think it‘s May favourite book. I usually say ‘probably‘ my fav book when I talk about mine. Can‘t quite commit! 7y

LauraBeth Wow - this sounds great! 7y
CarolynM @TrishB In different moods I would probably choose different books, but I think this is the one that comes out highest over all. I find it very hard to pick an absolute favourite anything! 7y
CarolynM @LauraBeth I think it is great. If you grew up in any part of the Protestant church, and particularly if you've been close to any clergy families, it is very relatable. 7y

#decktheshelves #firstnovel

Catherine Fox's first novel and one of my all time favourites. A story about faith, those who've found it and those who've lost it.
