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.

Reviewing the novel for The Independent, its critic Tom Adair said: "No Other Life dovetails questions of allegiance, tests of faith and the clash of cultures into a fiction of ideas tied at its heart to real lives lived. It is Moore's best work by far since Black Robe; at times it bites like a truly great novel. If pleasure indeed corrupts the soul, then this very novel is a 24 carat sin."[1]
