Haigh, a subtle, serious novelist who happens to have a flair for capturing troubled family dynamics, never allows FAITH to become predictable.

In Faith, Jennifer Haigh explores the fallout for one devout family, the McGanns. I was so engrossed in Faith that I was unable to put the book down and consequently finished it in.

Across the citys archdiocese, trusted priests have been accused of the worst possible betrayal of the souls in their care. In her writing, Jennifer tackles difficult issues with grace.

The novel has the magnetic, page-turning quality of a detective thriller, but the clues here lead not to objective proof but to insight into a family both vividly specific and astonishingly universal. It is the spring of 2002 and a perfect storm has hit Boston. 'A masterpiece of tension and tenderness.' - More magazine An incredibly suspenseful novel.' - Washington Post
