I have read and enjoyed both of Farrington's "Monk" books. They are gentle and real, with no big surprises. The stories are about a former monk who steps out into the real world. He is learning about the messiness of human love and real world faith in action. "Mike, she knew, was really not all that nice,...he was, was almost unfailingly kind, which in practice usually amounted to the same thing."p.169 This book made me think about my walk and putting my faith into real life. It doesn't hurt that Mike reminds me of my husband, who is unfailingly kind.
