Unseen Things Above by Catherine Fox

Unseen Things Above by Catherine Fox

The much-anticipated sequel to Acts and Omissions, chosen as a Guardian Best Book of 2014.

‘Brims with wit and heart, acknowledging the awkwardness and consolations of Anglicanism in the twenty-first centuryHugely entertaining and highly recommended.’ * Richard Beard, author of Lazarus is Dead *
Acts and Omissions is brave and beautiful, devastatingly honest, mercilessly funny, fundamentally kind.’ * Dr Margaret Masson, Vice-Principal, St Chad’s College, Durham *
Janet Beer, vice-chancellor, University of Liverpool, has some seasonal advice for readers. "Unsure what to buy the Trollope devotee in your life for Christmas? Look no further than Catherine Fox’s Acts and Omissions (SPCK, 2014) and Unseen Things Above (Marylebone House, 2015) for a refresher course not only in cathedral politics, but also a set of profound, although lightly drawn, insights into the contemporary Anglican communion. This is not pastiche: Fox’s voice is not Trollope’s, it is her own – witty, meddling, compassionate – and in this last regard she most resembles her predecessor. The men and women of the church in Fox’s world go about their professional and personal lives much as the rest of us do. They are susceptible to temptation, and to the odd bit of inappropriate behaviour, but in the main their stories are compelling because the ethical dilemmas that afflict us all from time to time are their daily bread but exotic fare for most readers. -- Janet Beer * The Times Higher Education *
