AELRED’S SIN

AELRED’S SIN
Lawrence Scott

Robert de la Borde comes to England in the 1980s from the Caribbean after hearing that his brother Jean Marc has died. In Bristol, his brother’s journals prompt Robert to visit Ashton Park Monastery, which Jean Marc entered in the 1960s as brother Aelred…
Aelred’s Sin follows a young man, Jean Marc, as he journeys through life – attempting to reconcile his strong Christian faith with his sexuality. He enters a monastery and devotes himself to God. But his sexual impulses cannot be denied, and he enters into a passionate, erotic relationship with a fellow monk.
