John stands in the storm. He has no fear of any kind. He has outlived all manner of pain & been near enough to death to kiss its face & walk away. He has lived for a purpose & believes he knows what it is. Aged as dust, blind & perilously frail, John has walked ten thousand miles, more, to tell of love. He was from the beginning & will be at the end: he has lived to witness in a hundred years sights & scenes that cloud his mind. Of his disciples, there are few remaining, banished with him to the island of Patmos where they wait. They wait as storm clouds whip the island with rain. They wait for the world to free them from exile. They wait for signs that never come. Their belief starts to turn into agonising doubt as they are ravaged by bewilderment & impatience. Frustration & bitterness rage inside Matthias, forcing him to turn his back on his friends, his leader, & his belief. As the disciples' loyalty disintegrates into betrayal, Papias remains at John's side, tending to his old master with a constancy that is undiminished to the end of his life. Always, the shadow of grief follows them, for the love that has given their lives meaning was not shared by the rest of the world. Niall Williams' new novel is a prodigious feat of imagination written with poetic vision, & an unforgettable validation of courage & faith. Romantic, wild & passionate, John is the story of what it might be to love for a lifetime. ...

They wait for signs that seem like they will never come. But eventually a sign does come & together the disciples leave the isl&. They embark on a journey that will change their lives forever: a journey filled with purpose & fear which will test their belief
- in love & in each other
- to breaking point, & John must face his biggest battle yet. John depicts the inner life of a man of faith & doubt with extraordinary poetic vision. Romantic, wild & passionate, this is the story of what it might be to love for a lifetime.
