A review by vstewart76
The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene

4.0

I always tell myself I should read more Graham Greene. I love the short story "The Destructors" as well as the novel 'Brighton Rock'. This book is like neither of those. It's beautifully written and Greene allows the atmosphere (the humidity, the insects, the sun) seep into every page of the novel. This is the story of a hunted, and haunted, priest on the run from the law while battling with his own conscience. It's a taut journey full of theological and ethical questions and well worth the read.
