About this title

Synopsis

A study of European Catholics, evoking a world of unshakeable dogma and troubled devotion. It is an unusual tour of a disturbing Europe, at odds with much of modernity. Among the places visited by Toibin are Poland, Croatia, Spain, Slovakia and Glasgow - for a Celtic match.
