Synopsis

A Saint and a Sinner in an Umbrian Convent Mark Bradomin is an aging Don Juan, a professor of Spanish literature fired for seducing students. His career ruined, he takes a job teaching English in Italy and ends up living as a night watchman in an abandoned Franciscan friary, where he continues his philandering -- until he discovers that the building is inhabited by the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. Saints don't need redemption; sinners do, and some saints are less judgmental than others. Mark and Francis become friends and confidants. But Mark's redemption comes from elsewhere. He falls in love with Victoria, a beautiful Mexican woman on a self-imposed exile of her own, and when she refuses his attentions, he decides to become a Franciscan friar, much to the disapproval of Francis. Another Monk’s Tale is an irreverant romp across three cultures, a tale of sex and religion, and other things that are not supposed to be discussed in polite conversation.
