From Library Journal Richard Bowen， the son of a conservative vicar in suburban England， narrates this story of Donald Rolandson， a fiery young curate who， in the name of the Sword of the Spirit， incites his parishioners to experience a feverish spiritual revival replete with evangelical testimonials， the laying on of hands， and the casting out of demons. Parks gives us a sharp， poignant， and often very amusing group portrait of the Bowen family: the stern， stony Reverend; his weepy， conciliatory wife; the pious， lackluster daughter， Anna; the adolescent， voyeuristic Richard; and the cynical and rebellious son， Adrian， from whom a devil is (presumably) tortuously exorcised by the demonic Rolandson. A carefully devised plot and brilliantly sketched characters make this simple novelette a masterpiece. Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award (1986) in Britain. Ronald L. Coombs， SUNY Downstate Medical Ctr. Lib.， Brooklyn， N.Y.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information， Inc.
