Benediction

Lois, a young girl, is anxious to meet her lover but makes an unexpected stop at her brother Keith's house, who is studying to become a Catholic priest.

After not seeing him for many years, the encounter opens Lois’ mind to things that she has not thought about before.

When she tells Keith she isn't a devout Catholic anymore, Lois participates in a benediction in the chapel given by her brother. She experiences emotions she hasn't felt before and collapses into his arms.

With themes of sibling relationships, family, and Catholicism, 'Benediction' offers insight into theology, inner life, and sympathy.

'Benediction' will delight fans of J. D. Salinger and Ernest Hemingway.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and the author of the classics ‘Tender is the Night’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’, with the latter having been made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.

Skillfully capturing the prosperity of post-World War One America, his writing helped illustrate the 1920s Jazz Age that he and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were at the centre of.
