Description

'An engaging and poignant read' - THE IRISH TIMES'For the strangled impulse, there is no redemption.'William King's daring first novel offers an insight into the conflicted, political, brotherly world of the priesthood.

Re-issued for the first time since its publication in 1997, it is augmented with an afterword by the author reflecting on his work. The Strangled Impulse follows a young curate uprooted from a comfortable parish to serve the pastoral needs of working-class North Dublin.

Set against the backdrop of the Church's dwindling influence in 1970s Ireland and an increased scrutiny of priests' personal lives, this is the story of Father O'Neill's battles between the demands of his vocation and his own desires. His loneliness leads him to an attractive yet wounded woman, and together they find a solace they once thought impossible.

As O'Neill struggles with the promises he made on ordination day, their newfound intimacy threatens to destroy them both.
