Everybody should read this book Catholic or not! Papal conclaves are by nature clandestine affairs, but Robert Harris has done a great deal of research and produced as a result a plausible and brilliant novel. There is ambition, chauvinism, envy, conceit and over-confidence alongside humility, human understanding, kindness and true holiness. The final twist in the story is stunning!
