anenome 's review for:

Conclave by Robert Harris
4.5
informative

 Cardinals seem very self-assured so it was great to see more facets when Lomeli was  a bit bumbling or self-doubting. 

Happy to read about a whole group of older characters, as it's an under-represented viewpoint.

The language used is such a strong part of this book, it's detailed and beautiful, not held back.
