Beware googling before reading this book. There’s a fantastic reveal about a third of the way through that might be given away. I’ll not, but just to say that when you get to it your mind will toll as you realise that this is a book about the conflict and the brotherhood between science and religion. Here evolution and prophecy are identical. It’s so rich in allusion, so subtle in its detail, and so sweeping in its music. It was the first adult book I ever took down from my father’s bookshelf, and the one I’ve come back to more than any other over the years. It’s hard to really talk about it because it was the first book that really gave me freedom of thought and has probably made a part of me to some extent.
