A (fictional) humourous look at the priestly ministry in the 50's through the eyes of newly ordained Fr. Neil and for his first posting is sent to St. Jude's parish in London. There he meets the parish priest Fr. Duddleswell, a 'crafty & cantankerous' personality full of witticisms that cause me no end of chuckles. Together they minister to the mostly Irish congregation and along with their housekeeper Mrs. Pring (who is always at odds with Fr. Duddleswell to comic effect) paints a light hearted book. It is full of the British humour that I find so endearing, with 11 short stories in this first book and I was not surprised to find out that it was made into a television series (it certainly read like one). Disclaimer: Received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. One of a series of books about Catholic priests. Father Neil goes for his first curacy to Father Duddleswell, a bad-tempered but kind elderly priest. Humorous situations arise as Father Neil learns about his job and the people in the parish. Gentle fun poked at the traditions of the Catholic Church, and some of the people in it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Bless me, Father (1)
The inspiration for the hit London Weekend Television series of the same name, this is one confessional you'll want to make a point of visiting Young Neil Boyd has just finished divinity school and has been newly ordained as a priest. His first post? St. Jude's parish, a corner of London with a raucous congregation full of Irish immigrants. The flock is an odd pairing with the gentle Father Boyd, but he just might be both mad enough and tender enough to get through to them. Later adapted into a beloved British sitcom, Bless Me, Father is a humorous and sweet-natured look at Catholicism in the 1950s. Joining Boyd is the cantankerous, scheming, and brilliant Father Duddleswell, a man who is willing to do anything to make sure the Lord's will be done, and Mrs. Pring, the sharp-tongued housekeeper who both coddles and cajoles her priestly family of two. If the church needs money, Duddleswell will place a bet to get it. If a Catholic wants to marry a Protestant . . . well, maybe he won't go that far. Father Neil's adventures with his parishioners are sure to delight readers of all creeds. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
