The Bishop and the Beggar Girl of St. Germain
Like all of Greeley’s books that I’ve read, this one is a quick, easy and delightful read. Rather than being set in Chicago, this one takes place in Paris. This, of course, necessitates a lot of French being spoken. I’m sure French is a delightful language, but I really dislike trying to read it because I can’t hear it in my head. I’m sure that’s because I opted to take Spanish and German in school.
As a “recovering Catholic,” one of the most astounding things about Greeley’s books is that Father Blackie’s brand of Catholicism makes me want to take some classes on the subject. And now that I’m working for a Catholic college, it’s quite likely that I will.
