Henry and Cato was Murdochs eighteenth novel. It is set in the English countryside and centres on two childhood friends who had not seen each other for several years. Henry returns to England from the U.S upon inheriting his family estate and Cato is a Roman Catholic priest who is losing his faith and has fallen for a seventeen year old boy. Their two separate stories intertwine as the plot progresses.
