Absolute Truths. Susan Howatch380 руб
With the invaluable support of his minions and his attractive, unsinkable wife, Ashworth stands against the amorality and decadence of the age - "Anti-Sex Ashworth. It is 1965, and Charles Ashworth has attained the plum position of bishop of Starbridge, an honor that keeps him in a heady whirl of activity that would exhaust the most seasoned corporate executive. And then the unexpected, the unthinkable, strikes. " He slays his opponents by being a tough, efficient, confident churchman, the torments of his past long since dead and buried. And as he suspects his old nemesis and dean, Neville Aysgarth, of drinking too much, of financial chicanery, of - God forbid - having an affair, Ashworth discovers to his horror that he is tempted to commit the very acts that he has so publicly denounced…
1996. Suddenly Ashworth finds himself staring into the chasm of all the lies hes been telling himself for years: about his marriage, his children, even his views on the Church. |
