Synopsis

How will it all end? Come, dear reader, and join with the good and the bad of the Diocese of Lindchester, as they navigate their way through the storms of 2016. What does the year hold in this best of times, this worst of times; this season of bake-offs and season of foodbanks; this Green spring of muscular theological hope and Lothlorien winter of hand-wringing theological despair? We will peep through many a stained glass window in pursuit of answers. Will the new bishop-dubbed Steve-angelical by his detractors-impose the evils of management upon the timeless beauty of Anglicanism? Will dean Marion collude with him? Will archdeacon Matt be the next bishop of Barcup - and what will Jane think of that? And will Freddie - more lovely than a summer's day, though far less temperate - finally find love and happiness? Times are dark in this, the final volume of The Lindchester Chronicles. But we may yet glimpse a touch of radiance around the grubby edges of our characters. So let us soar as best we can on Anglican wings, towards those unseen Realms of Glory.

Media Reviews
'Unsure what to buy the Trollope devotee in your life for Christmas? Look no further than Catherine Fox's Acts and Omissions and Unseen Things Above for a refresher course not only in cathedral politics, but also a set of profound, although lightly drawn, insights into the contemporary Anglican communion.' Janet Beer, The Times Higher Education;'Catherine Fox's glorious Lindchester series is the twenty-first-century answer to Trollope's Barchester - but Trollope was never so funny, so fundamentally kind, or so mischievously attentive to grace.' Francis Spufford, author of Golden Hill;'If you want to understand the Church of England in the twenty-first century - not just its official persona but its more elusive inner character - Catherine Fox is a reliable guide. Her colourful morality tales spare no one's blushes, but she writes with accuracy and affection about an institution to which, despite its flaws, she is profoundly committed as a witness to faith, hope and love. Hugely enjoyable.' Michael Sadgrove, Former Dean of Durham;'Catherine Fox writes not merely with affection but with love for an institution that is creaking under the weight of its own contradictions . . . The Diocese of Lindchester is full of people who bless one another, sometimes without realizing it. They blessed me.'' The Very Revd Kelvin Holdsworth, Provost, St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow;'A delicious novel: clever, witty and subtle.' The Baroness Sherlock;'Brims with wit and heart, acknowledging the awkwardness and consolations of Anglicanism in the twenty-first century. Hugely entertaining and highly recommended.' Richard Beard, author of Lazarus is Dead
