Picked up at the Reading meet at Great Expectations earlier this evening.

Amazon Editorial Review:
Robert de la Borde comes from the Caribbean to England in the 1980's after hearing that his brother, Jean Marc, has died. In Bristol, his brother's journals prompt Robert to visit the Ashton Park Monastery, which Jean Marc entered in the 1960's as Brother Aelred. There Robert pieces together Jean Marc's life; his exuberance, his mental suffering, and his struggle to balance his sexual impulses with his love of God. As Robert is forced to question his inherited prejudices, what unfolds is a story about the triumph of compassion over brutality. Moving from present to past, from cruelty to sympathy, Aelred's Sin is a powerful new novel of erotic love, spiritual awakening and above all, reconciliation.

RELEASE NOTES:

I don't like taking bookcrossing books and then re-releasing them without having read them but, with teetering bookshelves, a forthcoming house move and a husband mumbling (in the kindest possible way, of course) that it might be a good idea to reduce the number of books we have to move, I've been forced to have a cull of the shelves. So this one will be taken to the London meet up at the Camel and Artichoke on Tuesday night in the hopes that it will find another willing reader - and perhaps I might have it back afterwards or find another copy.

Really looking forward to this one, but may have to wait until my concentration span is greater than a gnats - when the children leave home???

I've tried, I've tried but the wee ones refuse to leave home and I just can't get into it :-)
It deserves to be read, so I am releasing it in the hope that someone will.
Good luck book.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I am releasing this book as part of my 40 before 40 birthday/bookcrossing release challenge.

I hope you find it & enjoy it & have a chuckle at the weirdness that is bookcrossing :-)
