At 25, Joseph de La Croix is a broken poet, fleeing France and the memory of the men he killed during the Napoleonic Wars. Seeking absolution, he crosses the Channel to rural England, where he steps into a small parish church-and into the life of Father Charles Prescott, a 44-year-old Anglican priest and fellow veteran, quietly tormented by his own past.
What begins as confession deepens into a connection neither man expects. But in a world where their love is forbidden-not only by faith, but by law-they are forced to choose between the truth of their hearts and the silence that safety demands.
Set against the quiet ache of postwar England, Bless me ,Father is a story of trauma, redemption, and a love that can never be spoken aloud.
