Summary

'The Strangled Impulse' follows a young curate, who is uprooted from a comfortable middle-class parish to serve the pastoral needs of those who are on the edge in 1990s Ireland. Set against the backdrop of the Church's dwindling influence and an increased scrutiny of priest's lives, this is the story of Father O'Neill, confronting both the resistance of a disaffected society and a battle between the demands of his calling and his own humanity. In the course of his work O'Neill meets a talented, attractive, yet wounded woman; gradually, together they form an alliance of the broken.
