Book Chat

This month's chat book is Dreamers of the Day, by Mary Doria Russell. As I didn't want to finish the book three or four weeks before the chat, I decided to read another of Russell's novels, The Sparrow. This is a science fiction novel in which a radio transmission from outer space inspires a Jesuit mission to make first contact. Many books have blended science fiction with religion, but this is my favorite of those I've read. The novel won Ms. Russell the James Tiptree, Jr. Award">James Tiptree,
