Conclave by Robert Harris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Pope died. It’s time for a new one. We’ve lived through a few of these. It is an interesting concept.
I’m not Catholic, but I have friends and family who are or have been. So I’ve always been curious. How does this work? How do they choose, especially since the church has a range of awesome and sinful? So when I saw the author on a talk show, I put the book on hold with Libby.
It was okay. For me, it was falling into a past of reading about men by men. Quite boring. But I’m glad I read it. Tiny bits of progress of thought seem to thread through this story. But I wonder if women are anything less than barefoot, pregnant witches to these self-important men. Sorry. Not sorry.
Still, these are my opinions that are changeable like the wind. Read it yourself and enjoy.
