The Keys of the Kingdom Review

A Scottish pioneer missionary's biography of angst, deprivation, and even death from the occident to the orient and back, set in the late 1800s and early 1900s. A great piece of fictional writing. The great visualized action, personal interactions piercing the human psyche in war and peace all serve to help the reader overlook the endearing hero's somewhat dodgy theology. A.J. Cronin certainly can write!
