Weathercock
Author: Glen Duncan
Publisher: Scribner Book Company
ISBN: 9780743220156
Category : Catholics

Pages : 500
Book Description
This is the confession of Dominic Francis Hood - Roman Catholic, sadist, conspirator to murder, witness to a miracle. Dominic's childhood had the usual cardinal points: the love of his family, a vague belief in God, a general curiosity, an emerging libido. But after he witnesses a miracle performed by Father Ignatius Malone, Dominic realises some part of him is skewed. Instead of becoming attracted to good, Dominic finds himself stimulated by the idea of other people's pain. And he knows that the mere fantasy will never be enough. WEATHERCOCK is the great modern moral inquiry, by one of England's brightest and most confronting young novelists. By turns hilarious, appalling, celebratory and sad, it is an investigation of profound temptations and those human weapons - sometimes formidable, sometimes frail - we bring to bear against them.

Book Description
In 'The Weathercock: Being the Adventures of a Boy with a Bias' by George Manville Fenn, readers are taken on a thrilling journey following the escapades of a young boy named Tom Bannister. Set in the late 19th century, the book combines elements of adventure, morality, and coming-of-age themes. Fenn's writing style is descriptive and engaging, immersing readers in Tom's world as he navigates through various challenges and moral dilemmas. The narrative is rich in detail, providing a vivid picture of the characters and settings. This book is a classic example of children's literature from the Victorian era, offering insights into the moral values and societal norms of the time. Fenn's storytelling captivates readers and keeps them eagerly turning the pages to discover what fate has in store for Tom. George Manville Fenn, a prolific Victorian author known for his adventure stories for young readers, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations to create 'The Weathercock.' Fenn's background as a schoolteacher and naturalist influenced his portrayal of Tom's character and the themes explored in the book. His works often explore themes of courage, friendship, and personal growth, making them resonate with readers of all ages. I highly recommend 'The Weathercock: Being the Adventures of a Boy with a Bias' to readers who enjoy classic adventure tales with moral lessons. Fenn's masterful storytelling and compelling characters make this book a timeless gem that continues to capture the hearts of readers today.
