This review is from: Dreams of Roses and Fire (Dedalus Nobel Prize winners) (Paperback)
Set in 1600s France, where the Catholics (led by Cardinal Richelieu) and Huguenots are struggling for supremacy, Johnson based his novel on a true-life story.
A Catholic priest - young, handsome, charismatic and who has broken his rule of celibacy - comes to the notice of his superiors. Some are jealous; others oppose him for political reasons, since he has written pamphlets against Richelieu, and seems to be somewhat on the side of the Huguenots.
When an apparent case of possession occurs in the Ursuline Convent, he is held responsible...
Narrated in part by a fairly sympathetic onlooker, Daniel Drouin, in the form of a journal, Johnson conjures up a fearsome world where demons can be used to accuse a man. ( )
