Paul Rudisha is a young Kenyan priest in waiting from Maasai. He is sent to England by his local diocese to complete his pastoral duties before being ordained in the Roman Catholic Church. But soon his journey to priesthood is tested by a stumbling block of four talented orphans and their mother, who need a father figure, and a mentor as an answer to their prayer. Will the priest in waiting forsake their love and betray their trust after reintroducing them to a world of happiness they had lost? Will he leave behind the blossoming affection towards the widow? The Bishop thinks the young priest in waiting is a perfect father for the four children, while the neighbour admires their family life. But Paul doesn’t see it that way and so, he must protect his priesthood career at any cost- Even if it means completing his assignment in Kenya, so he can be far from a daring and glaring temptation. Double pulled by the love for the four children and a pursuit for his career, Paul must make a choice acceptable to God- A decision he will never regret. “Nothing happens by coincidence. There must be a supernatural force against evil that controls matter, time, space as well as our thoughts in giving shape and direction to the unfolding events as they happen on earth. Absolutely nothing other than the immortal can be responsible for such control. This justifies my thoughts for the existence of a force so strong and mighty, incomprehensible, a force far greater than our understanding and imaginations, a supernatural existence in control of all that is seemingly complex and mind blowing as par my other stories which are based on true life’s events.” Agaba Samuel Rujumba.

Here Zadie Smith brings us two of her short stories both perfect examples of her storytelling gift.

The complete adventures of the well-loved clerical sleuth, collected in one brilliant volume. Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself. This complete edition brings together all of the Father Brown stories, including two not previously available in Penguin: 'The Donnington Affair', in which Chesterton rises to the challenge of solving a murder-mystery half written by someone else (Max Pemberton), and 'The Mask of Midas', which was found in Chesterton's papers after his death. It also includes an introduction and notes by Michael D. Hurley. G.K. Chesteron was born in 1874. He attended the Slade School of Art, where he appears to have suffered a nervous breakdown, before turning his hand to journalism. A prolific writer throughout his life, his best-known books include The Napoleon of Notting Hill (1904), The Man Who Knew Too Much(1922), The Man Who Was Thursday (1908) and the Father Brown stories. Chesterton converted to Roman Catholicism in 1922 and died in 1938. Michael D. Hurley is a Lecturer in English at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of St Catharine's College. He has written widely on English literature from the nineteenth century to the present day, with an emphasis on poetry and poetics. His book on G. K. Chesterton was published in 2011.
