I loved this book, and the film! It’s hugely about politics and its place in the Church; a really interesting perspective to read as someone who knows little about either. The distinction between the Church and God was also interesting to me, and I liked how there wasn’t a huge climax or mystery to keep the plot going, but a simple small-scale story examining the morals of men. Really great.
