At the bottom of by the page of a magazine I was reading was an ad for a book, The Devil Hates Latin by Katharine Galgano. It sounded interesting so I bought it. I was immediately hooked because the hero was a Dominican and although the setting was in Italy, there were many references to Boston. Add to that, one of the main characters is an ex-con.
What more could I want? How about action? Thrills? Romance? Catholicism?
The Devil Hates Latin has them all. It's a very good story. I'd qualify it as an adventure story. Two families are strangely united by a common interest. They go through some scary stuff together. A rogue religious community tries to eliminate the entire families. That's the story. But you find yourself rooting for the ordinary people. The priests, you have to sort out the good ones from the bad ones. The bad ones have the money and are trying to protect their power. An exorcist does the trick.
Another interesting observation was the description of modern Italy. We in the USA are becoming like that. We're a consumer society, good careers are impossible to find, people aren't getting married, people aren't having children.
The exorcist saves the day.
