A Whispered Name -William Broderick- Adult Fiction |
In a community such as Larkwood monastry, secrets are rare. So Father Anselm is deeply dismayed by an allegation against Herbert Moore, the man who shaped his own vocation, made by a visitor to Larkwood's cemetery.
During the slaughter of Passchendaele in 1917, an Irish soldier faced a court martial for dessertion. On the panel was a young captain, Herbert Moore, charged with a responsibility that would change him forever.
A Whispered Name is fit to stand with the finest books inspired by the First World War. It is a novel of moral complexity, superb characterisation and, abov all, profound humanity. |
