The book explores the life of Monsignor John O'Connor, an Irish parish priest whose experiences influenced G K Chesterton's creation of Father Brown. It delves into O'Connor's prewar writings on liturgical renewal, revealing his unique perspectives within the Liturgical Movement of the late 1930s. His views, often strident and sometimes prophetic, challenge conventional categorization and provide a deeper understanding of a figure whose ideas may surprise fans of the fictional detective he inspired.
