The Father’s Tale E
A Novel
Michael D. O’Brien
Canadian bookseller Alex Graham is a middle-age widower
whose quiet life is turned upside down when his collegeage
son disappears without any explanation or trace of where
he has gone. With minimal resources, the father begins a long
journey that takes him for the first time away from his safe and
orderly world. As he stumbles across the merest thread of a
trail, he follows it in blind desperation, and is led step by step
on an odyssey that takes him to fascinating places and sometimes
to frightening people and perils.
Through the uncertainty and the anguish, the loss and the
longing, Graham is pulled into conflicts between nations, as
well as the eternal conflict between good and evil. Stretched
nearly to the breaking point by the inexplicable suffering he
witnesses and experiences, he discovers unexpected sources
of strength as he presses onward in the hope of recovering his
son—and himself.
“This is a magnum opus in quality as well as quantity. There
is not one boring or superfluous page. A thousand pages of
Michael O’Brien is like a thousand sunrises:
who’s complaining?”
Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., Boston College,
Author, You Can Understand the Bible
“To enter the domain into which this book takes its readers
is to find oneself in the precincts of Holiness, really. Michael
O’Brien’s achievement here is, I think, titanic.”
Thomas Howard, Author,
Dove Descending: T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets
“The best of Michael O’Brien’s novels. He creates
characters like Dickens, explores human relationships like
Austen, and has the epic scope of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. I
believe this novel will merit inclusion in any list of the world’s
greatest novels.”
Fr. Joseph Fessio, SJ
