New Canadian Library and other Canadian Lit Challenge discussion

Please post below if you would like to join in the group read of this book.

One of the great novels of the 1930s, Such Is My Beloved recounts the tragic story of two down-and-out prostitutes and the young priest who aspires to redeem their lives. The novel is at once a compassionate portrait of innocence and idealism, and an emphatic condemnation of a society where the lines between good and evil are essentially blurred.

Such Is My Beloved is widely considered to be Morley Callaghan’s finest novel.

I have just finished the book and found it a quick read, but left me thinking afterwards.
Just what could Father Dowling have done for those girls? He was poor and those with money didn't care what happened to them.

There is a French novel you might like Tracey, Journal d’un curé de campagne by Georges Bernanos. The English title is The Diary of a Country Priest.

That looks good. Thanks for the recommendation.
