*****

A gentle novel, suspensful, melancholy, a little tragic. Reminds me, in its cosmic viewpoint, of Olaf Stapledon and of Arthur Clarke at his best. I just finished the book and it hasn’t settled in my mind yet. This review is a placeholder. I can’t wait to read Perelandra and That Hideous Strength.
