This is the fifth book in the "Bless Me Father" series and fortunately for me they don't have to be read in order. Each chapter is a new episode in the lives of the irascible and cunning Father Duddleswell and curate Father Neil. The stories, set in the 1950s, mainly involve the parishioners of St. Jude's and their varied difficulties and quirks and Fr. Duddleswell's conflicts with his housekeeper, the Mother Superior, the Bishop, the local Anglican Church, and the church's money issues. The stories are a bit dated but it's the characters that bring the stories to life.
