added a status update: On roofs along the motorway side, there were glinting water tanks like giant silver flu-relief capsules. A miniature Orthodox church like a white wedding cake looked as if it had been bought off the shelf and lowered into a garden on a winch.

"I didn't really know what to expect from this book but what I got I really liked.
It is well written with a tense and thought provoking storyline and well developed characters. This book was brutal and raw and took me out of my comfort zone at times " Read more of this review » |

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

“We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.”

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes...”
