The Rev Tom Ross's quiet and semi-alcoholic life as chaplain to the
Speaker of the House of Commons is about to be shattered. Pastor
Petroc Stone of a central London, evangelical church gives
sanctuary to a young man being chased by the police for making an
anti-Islamic protest. Politicians rage about the Church of England
giving a safe haven to a dangerous criminal and Islamists surround
the church building, furious at the boy's insult. Meanwhile, the
charismatic, white-maned Don of Doubt, Augustus Dymock, and his
secular campaign, the Thought Foundation, are pressuring the Church
to sell hundreds of its under-used places of worship. As the
stories twist and flow together, Ross finds himself caught up in a
world of bribes, violence and political spin and, at high personal
cost, he must confront his demons. The Speaker's Wife mixes
Westminster intrigue with searching depictions of an England which
has neglected its beliefs. Laugh-aloud satire is mixed with moving
passages about the human condition and even a fairytale love story.
