Interesting list. I'm looking forward to your reviews and also to reading some of these myself.
BTW, welcome to the blogosphere! :-)
One I enjoyed recently is, A Philadelphia Catholic in King James' Court. It was written by Martin De Porres Kennedy. It does for apologetics what Sophie's World does for philosophy, not quite as brilliantly, but still very engagingly.
The Jewler's Shop by Wojtyla should also be on there. It's a play I know, not strictly a fictional narrative, but it's great.
Thanks for this list Sr. Julia. It would be cool if you made this list a permanent feature of your blog (a link on the right side) along with a link to the Pauline Book Store where the book could be ordered. Great blog!
An interesting list. Pretty sad to think that your faith is based on words rather than relationships. And I notice that most of your list are male writers. Sad reflection as women are my inspiration. And you left out all the great gay and lesbian writers of our faith. Shame sister, shame!!
Dear Sr. Julia
Are these books available at Pauline publications in India?
