A review by rachelm31f6b
The Bishop and the Beggar Girl of St. Germain by Andrew M. Greeley
1.0
Nope. Nope. And Nope.
A family friend gave me this book. They weren't Catholic. I thought 'hm. this will probably be good.' I started it and it seemed to be an easy and quick read. Then I looked at some of the reviews and realized it might not be something I will like.
It is really sad/disappointing. The author (a priest) was a good author, why did he feel the need to end the story the way he did? Do I even want to know? As I got closer to the end it became apparent what was going to happen but it wasn't fully clear until the last 20ish pages. Then to have all the characters back it up and act like it was normal and there wasn't anything wrong with the situation? UGH. It made me a bit upset and for it to be written by a priest.
I can't recommend this book to anyone and that is pretty sad because it could have been something wonderful.
