From Library Journal Richard Bowen, the son of a conservative vicar in suburban England, narrates this story of Donald Rolandson, a fiery young curate who, in the name of the Sword of the Spirit, incites his parishioners to experience a feverish spiritual revival replete with evangelical testimonials, the laying on of hands, and the casting out of demons. Parks gives us a sharp, poignant, and often very amusing group portrait of the Bowen family: the stern, stony Reverend; his weepy, conciliatory wife; the pious, lackluster daughter, Anna; the adolescent, voyeuristic Richard; and the cynical and rebellious son, Adrian, from whom a devil is (presumably) tortuously exorcised by the demonic Rolandson. A carefully devised plot and brilliantly sketched characters make this simple novelette a masterpiece. Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award (1986) in Britain. Ronald L. Coombs, SUNY Downstate Medical Ctr. Lib., Brooklyn, N.Y.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
