This book argues that there is still vitality in the English Catholic novel. It analyzes the fiction of four contemporary Catholic novelists-Alice Thomas Ellis, David Lodge, Sara Maitland, and Piers Paul Read-and situates their work both within the tradition of the Catholic novel as it developed in France and England and within the changing post Vatican II Catholic Church.
