About this listen
In a small Scottish parish, an English priest is stalked by the fear of scandal, class hatred and lost ideals. Over the spring and summer of 2003, Father David becomes friends with two young people, Mark and Lisa: by the year's end his life is the focus of public hysteria. As he looks back to his childhood and to Oxford in the fever of student revolt, Father David begins to reconsider the central events of his life, and to see what may have happened to the political hopes of his generation. Meanwhile, religious warfare breaks out on his doorstep.

“This is a nuanced, intense and complex treatment of a sad and simple story. Read it twice.” (The Guardian)
"Magnificent… his talent is comparable to Muriel Spark’s, and he is kinder.” (The Times)
"Be Near Me is an elegy, a love story, a document of an era, beautifully imagined and composed." (Joyce Carol Oates)
"Be Near Me is elegant, wise and affecting." (The Age)
"As if it is not enough that Andrew O'Hagan can write like an angel, one has to add that he does it in the rare style of an intelligent angel. What a fine novel is Be Near Me." (Norman Mailer)
