A hugely enjoyable novel that communicates truths about the Christian faith in a subtle but captivating way.
Catherine Fox was educated at Durham and London Universities and has a degree in English and a PhD in Theology. She is the author of four adult novels, Angels and Men, The Benefits of Passion, Love for the Lost and Unseen Things Above, which explore the themes of the spiritual and the physical with insight and humour. In 2007, Yellow Jersey Press published Fight the Good Fight: From Vicar's Wife to Killing Machine in which Catherine relates her quest to achieve a black belt in Judo. Her first teen fantasy novel, WolfTide, came out in 2013. She teaches at Manchester Metropolitan University and lives in Liverpool, where her husband is dean of the cathedral.
A delightful novel: funny, life-enhancing and humane . . . Above
all, she displays a genuine ability to make religion palatable for
a secular age. Forget The Rector’s Wife [Joanna Trollope’s
bestselling 1992 novel], this is the real thing.

She has again succeeded in creating a cast of compelling characters
(some of whom made their first appearance in Angels and Men), whose
fate one becomes anxious to discover.
*Kate Chisholm, Sunday Telegraph*
What is the purpose of writing a book where the girls are full of
uncontrollable lust and the guys are more restraining and
controlling? It is hilariously funny and descriptive, and it could
be a solace and a reassurance to lusty ladies that men are good
sorts and are capable of not only controlling their sexual urges
but also or restraining themselves from "going all the way" with
passionate amours.
*The Church of England Newspaper*
