Trade Review
'Funny, moving and powerful'. -- Nick Robinson
‘Mark Dowd relates his struggles and triumphs with such levity and charm that it feels like correspondence from an old friend. It’s fashionable to want to know how gay people feel, but perhaps less so to explore the mind of a sometimes struggling but always persisting Catholic.’ -- Matthew Parris
‘How could you not love a book that finds room in its massive heart for both Oscar Romero and for Manchester’s greatest drag queen, Foo Foo Lammar?’ -- Frank Cottrell Boyce
