A Blast from the Past is a weekly meme where I intend to review book that I read in the past that has had some form of impact upon me, whether it be good or bad.My recommendation for today is Father Frank by Paul Burke.
This was a great little find at a bookstore under Central Station in Sydney. It is the story of Father Frank, a Roman Catholic priest that, strangely enough, doesn't believe in God. Having said that, he loves his job, and doesn't regret the time and work he put in to become a parish priest. He loves working with people and he improves their lives in many respects. I hope that this doesn't offend anyone, I know the thought of a priest that doesn't believe in God is horrifying, but this is a story, and a really nice one. Despite the deep love he holds for his job, Frank has cause to question everything when he meets Sarah, who puts his vows to the test.
I really love this book. It's a very quick and easy read, just really sweet and fun. The characters are funny, the language is funny, it's a comedy. I would definitely love someone else to read it and enjoy it like I did.
