Welcome to the official website of bestselling Australian Author
Morris West

Morris West was one of the great story-tellers of the twentieth century. He wrote 28 novels, many of which were made into films. Published in 27 languages during his lifetime, his intelligent, eloquent narratives reflect a fundamental determination to tackle the deeper concerns of his time, and resulted in the sale of an estimated 70 million books worldwide. 

​

Described by Mark Lawson at The Guardian as "the pope of the Vatican thriller", West's bestselling novels gained a reputation as thrillers which examine man's dilemmas and his moral conscience in a post-World War II age, assaying questions of principle and honour in the face of challenging circumstances. A man of his time, West's novels continue to resonate with a younger audience similarly confronted by a changing world.
