Synopsis

Holy Disorder is Geoff Smith’s first literary work, a semi-autobiographical novel that has the potential to establish itself as an English classic. With empathy, clarity, and perspicuity, and writing that is raw, real, and honest, Smith chronicles a working class lad seeking both purpose and understanding in 1960’s Manchester, a city rocked by the crimes of Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, to becoming chaplain to a bishop. Smith’s rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle, provides thought provoking as well as emotional and spiritual impact through its social commentary, and reflections on humanity and of the sad, inevitable and possibly irreversible decline of the Church.
