<span><span>Loved
 plowing through this somewhat chaotic book. A must for anyone 
interested in English Catholics, the Catholic revival, Sheed &amp; Ward,
 etc. The first-hand look we get at Frank Sheed and Maisie Ward is 
absolutely fascinating and of more interest than what we learn about 
Wilfrid the son. They seemed like a combination of the Mitford sisters, 
the Marchmain family from Brideshead, and a little bit of Dorothy Day 
thrown in. (Frank was Australian, but I can't think of a famous 
Australian that he resembles.) Frank and Maisie were wonderful, 
brilliant, and eccentric. Although the author does not set out to drop 
names, drop them he must (such as telling us that Chesterton was his 
godfather!). My favorite glimpse of an author, and the longest such 
description, is a two-page section on Caryll Houselander. I can't give 
the book five stars, because it is too full of colloquialisms (even for 
me), and a little choppy and confusing - not linear enough. But it's an 
awful lot of fun.</span></span>
