THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Now a major motion picture starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini
What happens behind the closed doors of the Roman Catholic Conclave? The mysterious rituals surrounding the congregation of cardinal electors responsible for electing a new pope is brilliantly researched by Robert Harris, bringing an age old tradition to life. Set against the swirling of religious theory comes an explosive political drama that will have you on the edge of your seat.
The Pope is dead.
Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, 118 cardinals from all over the globe will cast their votes in the world's most secretive election. They are holy men. But they have ambition. And they have rivals.
Over the next 72 hours, one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth.

Nazi Germany won the Second World War, Churchill is living in exile in Canada, Joseph Kennedy is President of the United States, and King Edward and Queen Wallis are puppet monarchs of the United Kingdom. In this dimension, history took a very different turn in 1942 to the one we are familiar with.

Story
Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

Unresolved
While the plot circles around the conclave, the end result was not satisfactory in the least. Felt rushed, and butchered.

Rushed ending left me dissapointed
I did not see that ending coming at all. I had worked on several theories of how it would end, but not that one. In my opinion, this was a missed opportunity by the author to really make an impact. His ending, although interesting and surprising, felt rushed. It makes you feel like the author just wanted to throw something outrageous and didn't think it through. another reviewer said it was 'unresolved', and I agree.
I wanted to read the book before the movie came out because as we all know, books are usually better than the movie. In this case, I hope the movie is better.
the narrator did an excellent job, so he gets 5 stars.
