The Ultimate Intimacy

Set in the present-day Czech Republic, this novel traces a year in the life of a Protestant pastor, Daniel Vedra. Ostensibly a happily married father of three, he is gradually beset by spiritual doubt and temptations, both physical and material.

On the day his mother dies, a beautiful stranger come to hear Protestant pastor Daniel Vedra preach. Having lived in Prague during the Communist regime- under constant suspicion and interrogation- Daniel's life now seems easier and fuller than ever before. But as the relationship that develops between the highly respected clergyman and another man's wife reintroduces Daniel to intimacy, so it come to threaten everything he has lived for: his family, his vocation and his future.
