From Giller Prize-winning author Linden MacIntyre comes a powerful and moving novel about idealism, faith, family and the incredible reach that the past can have in shaping our present and future lives.

It's October 1962, and Professor James O'Donoghue—otherwise known as "The Deacon" on the campus of St. Francis Xavier University—leads a fairly hermetic life, save for the lively debates that he encourages in his classroom. His students are his only real connection to the world until a woman comes to see him, claiming to be a blood relative adopted as an infant in Boston four decades earlier. Soon, O'Donoghue finds the careful order of his life in upheaval.

Forty years earlier, O'Donoghue was a young man and an aspiring priest, full of ambition and righteousness. But one day, he said the wrong thing to his younger brother who had come to James in a moment of vulnerability. The exchange altered the Deacon's life path and became one of the great regrets of his life.

In the present, as the Vietnam war brews, The Deacon's solitary world expands as a number of disparate individuals find their way into his life, looking to O'Donoghue for guidance.

Singularly thoughtful and incisive, The Deacon asks fundamental questions about what it means to live an authentic life and how we know we are doing so.
