As Strangers Here

London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1960.

First Edition. Original pea green cloth with the excellent and unclipped pictorial dust-jacket. A fine copy. Set in 1950s Belfast, clergyman Edward Ballater fears for his family and doubts his faith. His congregation do not understand his integrity, he deceives himself about the frustrations of his marriage and tries to comfort a young man whose life has been built on family lies. In the aftermath of an IRA bomb can he find a new understanding of his life?
