Guardian Newspaper 1000 Novels discussion

In February we will be reading The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene for our Family & Self category - who's in?

I've started it some months ago but it got abandoned somewhere - good opportunity to revisit.

I will.

I've bought a Kindle version (it was on offer for 99p)

Thanks for the tip off Phil. I too got a copy for very little so will join in this month.

I read this one last year so I'll be happy to join the discussion. By the way, the book is based on a real-life trip to Mexico that Greene took, which he documented in the non-fiction book The Lawless Roads. And it was filmed by Director John Ford as "The Fugitive" (not to be confused with the Harrison Ford action film).

I started reading it yesterday.

I didn't know that the Ford film was based on this book! I love Greene's writing. Maybe I will reread it after all...

I just finished this and wow, very different from my usual read. I found a really interesting article talking about the significance of daughters in his work here if anyone was interested in reading;
