The first memoir from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Canon Clement mystery series and former member of the Communards
'The best vicar ever' Caitlin Moran
'Sex, drugs, death, religion, more sex... it has got it all' Guardian
FATHOMLESS RICHES is the Reverend Richard Coles' warm, witty and wise memoir in which he divulges with searing honesty and intimacy his pilgrimage from a rock-and-roll life of sex and drugs in the Communards to one devoted to God and Christianity.
'All the humour, quirky characters and incidents that life - and death- serve up' Mail on Sunday
'One of the most immensely readable - and redeemable - memoirs of the year' Sunday Times
'A frank, worldly-wise, bleakly comic memoir' The Times
'Full of wit and humour ' Independent on Sunday
Praise for Fathomless Riches: Or How I Went From Pop to Pulpit
-
One of the most immensely readable - and redeemable - memoirs of the year. His book is an engaging account of eccentricity, curiosity and a profound spiritual journey. I give it a screamingly camp, happy-clappy thumbs up - SUNDAY TIMES
-
Sex, drugs, death, religion, more sex, many more deaths - it has got it all. Like a sparkling old-style chasuble worn by a Spanish priest, it is difficult to ignore - GUARDIAN
-
Beautifully written, disarmingly frank and utterly charming - MAIL ON SUNDAY
-
Richard's devastating honesty makes his journey from gay pop-star to celibate parish priest comprehensible even to atheists
