Maria doria russell the sparrow7/3/2023 And very very beautiful.Īfter I was done, I read that the author had left the Catholic church at age 15, and after 20 years of aetheism found herself re-examining questions of values, ethics, morality and religion upon the birth of her child. And altho most of the main characters are indeed Jesuits and so many questions and approaches do involve Catholicism, they were universal. I would instead call it a spiritual book in that the journey involves time old questions, of faith, of God, of religion, of humanity. So I'm really glad that a group decided to read this, because it is NOT a yah-yah Christian book at all. I had picked this up years ago due to all the terrific reviews, but when I started it, since it involves priests and such, I thought it was going to be a Christian book.
