Touching Cloth: Confessions and Communions of a Young Priest

Fergus Butler-Gallie
Alex ChristofiAlex Christofi

'Butler-Gallie's tales are narrated with a voice and self-deprecatory humour somewhere between Viz and PG Wodehouse. The stories are all gloriously funny, but, like all good clerical effusions, they have a serious point.' Excellent review for TOUCHING CLOTH https://t.co/499oiPw8fE

Imagine spending three years sharing your brain with someone who makes terrible life decisions at every turn, always holding out hope that one day he will learn, but he never does because somehow he keeps getting more successful. That's right, it's paperback publication day!

I was really pleased to see The Ottomans by @MarcDavidBaer1 on the Wolfson shortlist - an amazing book which subtly revises a number of misconceptions, taking in 700 years of Mediterranean history along the way https://t.co/5rvcq41lvT
