A ecumenical satire - you laugh all the way. The confusion and the thought process of the reverends and mother superiors discribed beautifully - and ah in a very funny funny way.
James Wharton, Bishop of Timfristos finds out that a mother superior is gifted by a modern artist one of his creation that,according to the creator, is 'Answer to maidens prayer'. The object of painting being a male organ. The Bishop is alarmed and starts his journey across country side to find out in which convent the painting is. And when he finds it out, it turns out to be a 'Maiden at prayer' . But long before this happens, Bishop comes to see a nun in without the leaves, which leads to a compramise.
Even though the theme was good and foundation superb, the author, Bruce Marshall, mixes it up towards the end by making the subject of the painting russian missile!!! May be he wanted it to be too much funny but i bet he regret it now!!!
PS: I dint get the coverpage, so no pic to shack in the memories.
