Riveting

Extremely well researched.

One of the best books ever

Absolutely loved this. I couldn’t put it down as soon as I started it. A truly fabulous read, full of twists and turns and anxious tension that kept me firmly on edge.

A wonderful, detailed, informative, inspiring story

No- one knows much about a papal election. I think this book represents it very properly. There are a few avoidable mistakes, such as the plate on the urn of votes being a paten, rather than a chalice, which is a cup for the wine of the sacrament of Holy Communion, and a few Latin errors, but the general accuracy is very fine another conspicuous error is that a priest does not “celebrate” Vespers, which is the penultimate of the Offices of the Day” which every priest has been obliged to read, say or sing. It is not sacramental, and so there is no reason for it to confer a state of grace. I’ve read this book 3 times. This reading will not be the last
