APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you enjoyed Paolo Sorrentino’s decadent and deliciously dastardly TV show, The Young Pope, step right this way. In this utterly gripping thriller, Robert Harris dives into the planet’s most secretive recruitment process: the Conclave to select a new Pope. His cast of viciously ambitious cardinals make for an uproarious rogue’s gallery of characters, while our narrator (Cardinal Jacopo Lomeli) is just the grounded figure the book needs to make order from chaos.
Customer Reviews
great read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s written through the eyes of a cardinal who has the duty to lead the conclave to elect the new pope. He is an elderly kind and gentle man who has served the church well, and at times has struggled with his faith. However he makes discoveries about some of the leading contenders and is forced to act on his findings. This leads to intricacies in the plot, and he is lead by his faith and duty as the leader of the conclave as to how to respond to each new finding. The ending is very satisfying.
Harris at his usual best.
Only Robert Harris could write a book of this moment and majesty. Once started it is hard to put down. The ending is not finish but one of hope for what follows.
Magnificent
Twist at the very end that’s all a reader of thrillers wishes for! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
