The Office Of Innocence by Thomas Keneally

5.0

- Keneally has been short-listed for the Booker Prize four times, and won it for Schindler's Ark in 1982 (movie title was 'Schindler's List'). I really enjoyed this engaging WWII-period novel about the challenges facing a new priest in Sydney, Australia. Although the plot was slow to build, the characters were very well developed and the gradual-but-inevitable loss of the young priest's innocence was palpably real.
