Peccavi
E. W. Hornung
Leído por Nicholas Clifford (1930-2019)
How does a man who as committed a heavy sin — not a crime, but a sin with terrible consequences — atone for his behaviour? What if the man is a priest of the Church of England? That is the central question of E. W. Hornung’s Peccavi (I have sinned). The Rev. Robert Carlton, rector of the rural parish of Long Stow, now finds not only his parishioners turned against him, but also his patron Wilton Gleed, for under English ecclesiastical law’s allowance of advowson, a patron (usually a notable) could in effect name a particular clergyman to a church living, or benefice, under his control. What the patron could not do, however, was to eject a rector from his church and his rectory; that was a matter for the local bishop, not him. ( Nicholas Clifford) (11 hr 11 min)

Reseñas
An Excellent Tale
jbrown
Mr. Clifford sets the perfect tone for this story with his flawless narration. We hold our clergy to the highest of standards and yet, like us, they are mere human. The reverberations of sin across many lives is told here. Is there any chance for redemption. I highly recommend “Peccavi”. It is a tale that will leave you a fan of E. W. Hornung.
Too meandering
Shelly
An interesting idea. I found that it dragged out with characters only sketchily formed and their personal stories which had little or nothing to do with the main idea, My credulity was tried by the way the main character took on completely alien tasks and succeeded straight away
Very good

Interesting story, very very good reader. Hopefully Mr. Clifford is in a better place now, far away from this flawed Earth.
