I love novels of all kinds, but for me, Susan Howatch's books tower above all others. After writing a series of best-selling novels that might be described as sweeping family dramas, in the 1980s she began the Starbridge series, six novels that capture the growth of the Anglican Church in Europe from the 1930s until the late seventies. Three main characters float in and out of each novel--one representing the conservative wing, one the mystical wing, and one the liberal wing. In this short video, I share my passion for this work and will hopefully persuade a few of you to give it a try. And if by some miracle Susan Howatch ever sees this, will you please, please, PLEASE come out of retirement and give us more?
