ACTS OF GOD
The Office of Divine CounselBy R.A. Azhari
Length5h 19m
About this audiobook
An ancient chamber in Lincoln's Inn has defended God for seventeen centuries. This winter, it hires a grieving barrister.
When her sister dies in an earthquake and the insurers reject the claim in four words, "act of God", Maryam Asfour writes forty-one furious pages addressed to no one. Then two letters arrive: one from the Office of Divine Counsel, which has represented "the Client" since the fourth century, and one from the chambers opposite, which has prosecuted Him just as long.
Maryam joins the defence for one reason: she wants discovery on God.
Her induction is an archive. The Book of Job. Baghdad, 833. Strasbourg, 1349. Lisbon, 1755. A twentieth-century file containing a single sheet. And a seventh file in a drawer everyone expects her to open first, but she saves for last.
A novel about the oldest case in the world, the two paths grief can take, and what remains when every explanation fails.
For readers of *Piranesi* and *Small Things Like These*.
