Two compelling works of Australian literary fiction centred on the Roman Catholic Church, "Eminence" follows Cardinal Luca Rossini, tortured by Argentina's military junta in his youth and exiled to Rome, as he navigates the treacherous politics of a papal conclave while confronting the return of the woman he loved and the daughter he never knew, and "The Last Confession," West's unfinished final novel published posthumously with a foreword by Thomas Keneally, reconstructs the imprisonment and heresy trial of the philosopher Giordano Bruno in the weeks before his burning at the stake in Rome in 1600, making it an extraordinary document of a great writer working at the edge of his own mortality.
