The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman by Louis De Bernieres
While the economy of his small South American country collapses, President Veracruz joins his improbable populace of ex-soldiers, with whores, in a bizarre search for sexual fulfilment. But for Cardinal Guzman, a man tormented by his own private daemons, their hedonistic fiestas represent the epicentre of all heresies that must be challenged.
A carnival of pain and pleasure, violence, tenderness, high jinks of every sexual sort, quaint customs and quainter jokes * Financial Times *
An extraordinary feat of imagination.. a sensuous, often farcical and ultimately optimistic argument for spiritual sanity * Time Out *
Mr de Bernières writes superbly * Catholic Times *
