I enjoyed this book so much it made me go and read all Phil Rickman's other titles. Revd. Merrily Watkins not only has to battle with prejudice against women priests in rural Herefordshire, but also the single parenthood of a feisty teenage daughter, sinister goings-on in the cider industry and an ancient tragedy still working itself out in the present. Very real charcters, a touch of the supernatural and a lovely black sense of humour.
