FROM KIRKUS REVIEW
A debut romance novel about a priest’s forbidden love for an aspiring singer.
Palumbo delivers a variation on the tried-and-true priest-in-love template that’s been serving novelists for more than 150 years, ever since Charles Reade’s 1861 novel, The Cloister and the Hearth
Palumbo’s dramatic instincts are pointed, and he brings the third act of his story to a gripping and surprising conclusion.
Even readers who know this subgenre very well will find this a diverting read.
An often familiar but touching story of love and difficult choices.
