Book request: Hello, I've just joined the group and hope you can help me.I once read a short review of a fiction book, with a very brief synopsis: in the 60s, in the period of the Vatican Council II, a young Catholic priest is sent to a small village in Ireland, and he tries to introduce the new way of things to his traditionalist parishioners... but they're not happy at all with it and they even think he might be... the devil! Meanwhile, the priest befriends a young woman. I can't remember anything else.It seems to me that I read this around the end of the 90s, so the book should have been published around those years and not much before. The author was maybe female. It was not a tragic story, but instead quite funny and in a light tone.Thank you!!!
