Reunited childhood friends confront their longings and failures in
this "engaging" novel by a Man Booker Prize-winning author (The New
York Times). As children growing up in the English countryside,
Henry Marshalson and Cato Forbes were inseparable. But, as time
went on, their lives took different paths. For Henry, whose older
brother would inherit his father's estate, the United States
called, with a professorship to teach art history, while Cato
devoted himself to the Catholic priesthood and a mission in London.
But when Henry's brother dies, leaving him sole heir to his
family's vast estate, Henry and Cato find themselves connecting
once more and reexamining the paths their lives have taken. As
Henry struggles to come to terms with his personal passions and
family obligations, and Cato fights against his religious doubts
and darker urges, both men find themselves entwined in a deadly
intrigue that could ruin not only their lives but also the lives of
those they hold dear. A dizzying display of complex plotting, Henry
and Cato was praised as "Murdoch's finest novel" by Joyce Carol
Oates, a spectacular combination of thrilling action and moral
philosophizing that will leave readers spellbound.
