The Dearly Beloved

A Novel

Cara Wall

Two married couples with vastly different backgrounds and personal differences become entangled when the husbands are jointly hired as copastors of a historic New York city congregation in the 1960s. Against the backdrop of turbulent changes facing the city and the church's congregation, Cara Wall's The Dearly Beloved is a poignant meditation on faith and reason, marriage and children, and the ways we find meaning in our lives. Follow these two couples through decades of love and friendship, jealousy and understanding, forgiveness and commitment, as they grapple with their faith and fall in love. It's a gorgeous, wise, and provocative novel that is destined to become a classic.
