All My Friends

All The Lonely People is a miniature novel by British author, Gervaise Phinn, that borrows its character names from the famous Beatles song Eleanor Rigby. It explores the troubling issues raised by the sex scandals of the Catholic church in recent years. Father McKenzie is a solitary priest with a terminal illness. Virtuous and the furthest thing from a pedophile, he is nonetheless approached by police in a public park and told to keep his distance from the playing children. Membership in his parish is declining and the building is falling into disrepair. He is approached and befriended by a small boy who doesn't receive enough attention from his mother. The boy's mother, in turn, longs for the companionship of a man. Miss Rigby doesn't appear until the second last chapter. She is an elderly widow, wealthy and deceased. A comforting read for a homeless, single musician on a dead Sunday afternoon.
