Thy Brother's Wife

In his runaway best seller "The Cardinal Sins", Father Andrew M. Greeley opened the eyes of the world to the fact that though a priest may be a man of God, he is still a man - subject to the passions and emotions of a man and capable of sinning, repenting, and then sinning again. In "Thy Brother's Wife", Greeley focuses on two brothers, one a priest and one a senator, who, each in his own way, love the same woman. The direction of Paul and Sean Cronin's lives was shaped the day their father, a self-made multimillionaire, decided that one of his boys would grow up to be a cardinal and the other would become President of the United States. But Michael Cronin did not stop there. He also decided that his elder son would take as his wife the beautiful Nora, who had come into the Cronin home as an orphan and who had loved and been loved from the day of her arrival - by the younger brother. Long out of print, "Thy Brother's Wife" is a classic tale by one of America's most loved story tellers.
