No Other Life is a novel by Northern Irish-Canadian writer Brian Moore, published in 1993.

The novel is set in the future, on the fictional Caribbean island of Ganae (based loosely on Haiti).[1] The story is told by Father Paul Michel, a Canadian missionary to Ganae, as a letter to himself about the life he has led.[1] Father Paul supports a young priest, Jeannot, in his rebellion against Ganae's despotic ruler Uncle D.
