From All False Doctrine - Paperback

by Alice Degan (Author)

Toronto, 1925: An ancient manuscript and a modern cult promise the secret to personal metamorphosis. An atheist graduate student falls in love with a priest. A shiftless musician jilts his fianc e and disappears. From All False Doctrine is a metaphysical mystery wrapped in a 1920s comedy of manners. Thrown together when their best friends fall in love, Elsa Nordqvist and Kit Underhill don't think they have much in common. But when Kit's friend Peachy drops off the face of the earth, and the manuscript that Elsa wanted to write her thesis on seems to have something to do with it, Elsa and Kit become unlikely allies. The question is, can their combined resources of Classical scholarship and Anglo-Catholic liturgy save a man from himself?
