Great story but very disappointed with the copy I received as it clearly displayed that the book would come with the cover and it didn't.

A classic!
This book deserves to be archived as one of the best works in the century! Any reader should have a copy as a collection. The saga itself may be true itself...

Truly a remarkable novel. Its the basic Priest's path to God. Does he give up the love of a woman for the love of divinity and is there really a difference? In the end he chooses the woman, thus falling from the pedestal he placed himself on, and in being humbled, is closer to God
