It reminds me in a way of Angela's Ashes not that it is in any way like it in style or substance, but because I found Angela's also by chance, forgot to read it and then when I did, was blown away. As far as I know the Rural Gentleman is not biographical, but it felt like a walk down memory lane, back to the recession and Murphy reports and all that, yet it was quite genuinely just about the most uplifting book I have ever read. Quite a feat when you consider that the main character is a priest. You just want to believe that one like him really exists. Still looking.
