Thy Brother's Wife Zusammenfassung

Thy Brother's Wife Andrew M. Greeley

In his runaway best seller "The Cardinal Sins", Father Andrew M. Greeley opened the eyes of the world to the fact that though a priest may be a man of God, he is still a man - subject to the passions and emotions of a man and capable of sinning, repenting, and then sinning again. In "Thy Brother's Wife", Greeley focuses on two brothers, one a priest and one a senator, who, each in his own way, love the same woman. The direction of Paul and Sean Cronin's lives was shaped the day their father, a self-made multimillionaire, decided that one of his boys would grow up to be a cardinal and the other would become President of the United States. But Michael Cronin did not stop there. He also decided that his elder son would take as his wife the beautiful Nora, who had come into the Cronin home as an orphan and who had loved and been loved from the day of her arrival - by the younger brother. Long out of print, "Thy Brother's Wife" is a classic tale by one of America's most loved story tellers.

Thy Brother's Wife Bewertungen

"Thy Brother's Wife makes strong statements about important matters--love, morality, power, belief, and human frailty under the pressure of animal drives." --The New York Times Book Review

"The first strength of Thy Brother's Wife is the author's view from within; the rubrics . . . of the Church from the parish to the Vatican ring authentic . . . priests and princes of the Church as fragile human beings, the pains of change, the possibilities and the promise of a transcending, consoling, and supradenominational faith." --Los Angeles Times

"Greeley's turf remains Camelot West: the Chicago of lace-curtain Irish who have pushed their way to the top . . . Greeley the romantic, wishing that life could be full of grace, and Greeley the realistic priest, who knows how dark human souls can be." --Time on Thy Brother's Wife

"Written with verve, economy, and authority about the subjects Greeley knows best - the political shenanigans of Illinois and the subtle but more ominous infighting in the Catholic Church." --Chicago Tribune on Thy Brother's Wife
