Creators: Liked One of Greene’s most powerful novels, the book takes as its theme the era of religious suppression in Mexico during the early 1930’s. An unnamed Catholic priest, an alcoholic with a shameful past in search of either oblivion or redemption, travels through Mexico administering the rites of the church to the poor landless peasants, hunted by a remorseless police officer and always in fear of being betrayed by those he is attempting to help.
LikedI was better able to understand not just the themes of the book, but why some of the characters were written in the way they were and why they were behaving the way they were. And from that point on, I was enjoying the book a lot more because I was kind of understanding the components of the story on a deeper level.
What made the match, strongest first
