Synopsis
"One dark and stormy night in 1956, a stranger named Fludd mysteriously turns up in the village of Fetherhoughton. He is the curate sent by the bishop to assist Father Angwin - or is he? In the most unlikely of places, a superstitious and dismal town that understands little of romance or sentimentality, where bad blood between neighbours is ancient and impenetrable, miracles begin to bloom. Fludd becomes lover, gravedigger, and saviour, transforming his dull office into a golden regency of decision, unashamed sensation, and unprecedented action."--BOOK JACKET.
