"In this vibrant novel, Frank Ronan depicts the delusions of faith with infectious humour, and tells the poignant story of a boy who grows up trying to fit in, caught in the collision between the old ways and the permissive modern age. Growing up on a commune in the 1960s, Coorg learns to love peace and brown rice and accept his mother's indifference. He also bears the burden of destiny - from birth he has been acclaimed as the new messiah. Coorg's life changes when his grandparents track him down and abduct him to Ireland. Under their care he learns to love sweets and abide by the rules of the Church. Vaguely conscious of a continuing duty to put the world to rights, he still has to deal with the pitfalls of adolescence."@en
