The Stranger: A Novel

The Stranger, Malachy G. Carroll's first novel, concerns a mysterious man—"The Stranger"—who must live in a secluded Irish community with his true identity unknown. While a tragic secret from his past isolates the Stranger, his neighbours are impressed by his quiet courage and kind charity. When suspicions about his past begin to circulate in the hamlet, he will have to choose between revealing his true identity and losing the trust of his new friends.

The Stranger, written with zeal, intensity, and much good humour, is a stirring story with an electrifying ending, putting Carroll on the same level as other outstanding Catholic novelists like as Lloyd C. Douglas and Louis de Wohl.
