"Simon Called Peter" by Robert Keable is a novel published in 1921. This controversial bestseller tells the story of Peter Graham, a priest who has an affair with a nurse named Julie during wartime France. Torn between faith and love, Peter faces a spiritual crisis that leads to a profound revelation.
