The Priest by Beatrix Beck
In German-occupied France a cynical, politically engaged young widow finds herself repeatedly drawn into conversations with a charismatic young Catholic priest; through their sharp, often intimate debates about faith, desire, guilt and conscience she is forced to confront her anger, loneliness and assumptions, and the clash between intellectual skepticism and spiritual conviction gradually leads to a subtle, painful inner transformation amid the moral pressures of wartime.
