"Not one sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it"
"But the sparrow still falls."
And therein lies the premise of this remarkable novel - where is God in the midst of difficult and trying circumstances?
Mary Doria Russell writes with such a convincing style that her characters are real - they have all the depth and complexity of real people. Her creation of an alien world with its life forms, its culture, philosophy languages and government structure are quite remarkable.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone
