Martin Scorsese made a film of this a few years ago which has sparked renewed interest in this novel by Japanese writer Shusaku Endo, who was the rare Catholic in a mostly Buddhist country. It's the story of Portuguese missionaries in 17th century Japan, and it is intensely religious, but not so much that it can't be appreciated by those who simply like good books. Endo's other major novel is "Volcano."
