Sins of Gods, of Saints and of the Gutter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9791220147439)

On the background of a country torn apart by corruption, carnage and power struggles, Father Austin returns to this homeland after a long stay abroad. He soon discovers that things are worse than before he left. A new order of Cribism, a religion-political set up of a trinity of rulers to safeguard the nation and their regime, is simply an evil ideology masked in superstition. It is during this time that the Austin-Anne love relationship comes to life harking back to an unintended child born of their earlier childish liaison. This story, on the ridge between personal and collective experience, shows also how sin can become a source of redemption and how suffering can be a means to lead us to joy.
