'Absorbing, fascinating, arresting' The Observer 'Intensely moving,
luminous and rather magnificent' The Times It was one of the most
startling moments in the history of the City of London. In 2011,
the Occupy movement set up camp around St Paul's Cathedral. Giles
Fraser, who was Canon Chancellor of the Cathedral, gave them his
support. It ended in disaster. This remarkable book is the story of
the personal crisis that followed, and its surprising consequences.
Finding himself caught between the protesters, the church and the
City of London, Fraser resigned, and was plunged into depression.
As his life fell apart and he battled with ideas of suicide, he
found himself by chance one day in Liverpool, outside the great
Victorian synagogue once presided over by a distant ancestor.
Suddenly Fraser realized that there was a great deal he did not
know about himself, about his relatives and about his Jewish roots.
Fraser calls this book 'a ghost story' and it is a book which is
indeed filled with many ghosts. His search into his family's Jewish
past makes this both a fascinating personal story and a wonderful
piece of writing about theology. It is a book about the deepest,
most ancient elements in our culture, and the most modern and
intimate. It is throughout alive with the charm and intellectual
vigour which have made Fraser such an admired and controversial
preacher and broadcaster.
