I'd call it a young adult coming of age (18&21) novel for the Catholic-oppressed. The author is excellent in describing locales, the era, and church rituals. You want to cheer for these young teachers of middle school boarding school boys. Both teachers fail to observe boundaries with quite young pubescent boys, both as teachers and gay role models. It is distressing to see them cross the line with boys 12 to 14, as they come to accept their own sexual identities.If they had acted out their illicit fantasies on young men of their own age, the drama would hardly be worth the effort to write about. There is nothing salacious described, just the feeling that the protagonists are weak and stupid. It ends on a disappointing note. The follow-up novel (Christopher & Tom and Their Kind) continues to follow the two characters as they return to Oxford in their mid-twenties. Maybe Catholics never fully grow up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoy the adventures of Tom and Christopher. *by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018* There is a style of writing that I like. I like to learn about the characters in the story as the story line moves along. I also know that in this particular genre of book one is gong to find some sex. I like how in this book you get an idea of what is going on, and if you have had sex, there is no doubt what is going on, but it does not take up a major roll in the story. Some authors like to spend a lot of time telling about every nuance of what is going on. This author does not. I enjoyed this, book (one) enough that I am now on book two. I was not sure so I did not buy the 3 book series and get a discount. I can not promise you that you will like it, but I don't think you will go wrong buying the 3 books. I like the character development, plot development and general story line. You get to meet several enjoyable people along the way. There is some serious tension and you will feel yourself get a bit upset. I read several books a year, I read all kinds of books and I have to say, I enjoy this series of books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Different *by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018* I've read lots of books, but never one quite like The Dog in the Chapel. It is very well written in third person, looking back from present day to a time fifty years earlier. The characters are nicely developed and I found the story intriguing.The plot takes the reader from England to France more than once, and it revolves around what I assume are Catholic teachings and doctrines. (I'm not Catholic.) McDonald uses many French phrases without translations. Because of the Catholic boarding school setting, Latin is also used without translation. While I'm sure it would have added to my reading enjoyment, to know exactly what was being said at those times, I still enjoyed the book.If the story synopsis interests you, I definitely recommend The Dog in the Chapel. I have downloaded book two in the series to see what comes next for Tom and Christopher, et al. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/45158386-the-dog-in-the-chapel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/45158386-the-dog-in-the-chapel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
