Under The Sun Of Satan by Georges Bernanos
Set in a rural French parish, the novel follows a fiercely devout, tormented priest who believes himself called to a private spiritual battle against palpable forces of evil; as he confronts worldly cynicism, clerical complacency and the desperate suffering of a young abused woman, his austere faith, doubts about grace and guilt, and a mounting, ambiguous confrontation with demonic influence drive him toward a tragic, unsettling climax that forces readers to wrestle with questions of redemption and the costs of holiness.
