Reviews for The Pontiff in Winter
21 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Extremely well written, it's always a pleasure to read Mr Cornwell. Every Catholic (and -phile) should read this book. It wakes you up to a reality not readily seen; the curtains are well and truly pulled back. The portrait revealed of this most profound world leader may offend those who prefer spin to reality. Yet the sincerity and respectfulness of the writer persists throughout. The book covers the main events of John Paul's life and, of course, the controversies. It is an education and reveals a world that no Catholic can afford not to know. If for no other reason than to read a fascinating character study and a well written book, then read this.
