Virgin & Child
by Maggie Hamand
Description
A genre-busting, gender-bending Vatican thriller. What happens when everything you know is thrown into doubt?
And you’re the Pope?
The recently elected Irish Pope Patrick has plans for his future Church. Then he is attacked in St Peter’s Square. Cardinals turn against him. Shocking revelations threaten his traditional status and his faith.
In this novel where nothing is as it seems, Catholicism and modern morality are held in tension. Pope Patrick has to face challenges and make choices he could never have imagined.

Endorsements
Written with great elegance and authority. It tackles “head-on” some of the most challenging issues for the Roman Catholic Church around gender and sexuality and at the same time has some of the loveliest, most persuasive, writing about personal prayer that I have ever encountered in fiction.' Sara Maitland.
Reviews
As clever and intriguing as it is kooky. --The Irish Times
