β¦ Synopsis
An Anglican priest loses his faith and sends his family and parish spinning into chaos Father Carel Fisher's London rectory--like his faith--is a shell. The rectory remains hollowed and broken from bombs dropped in the Second World War, while his religious passion abandoned him long ago. As Carel becomes a shut-in, his brother Marcus sets out to save him before it's too late. Rich and complex, The Time of the Angels is a powerful story of a man's descent into madness, and the destruction he wreaks along the way
