The Jealous God is a novel by John Braine which was first published in 1964. Set in the early 1960s among the Irish Catholic community in a small Yorkshire town, the book is about a 30-year-old man and his attempts at liberating himself from his domineering mother. The title refers to the latter's wish that her "favourite" son, although already rather old, become a clergyman. It was adapted into a film in 2005. Source: Wikipedia (en)
