It’s similar to the structure Elizabeth Fama did for her novel Plus One, except for the fact that Plus One alternates with flashbacks and memories. Mary Doria Russell alternated chapters, stepping into 2019 as the group of friends petition to go on this trip, and 2060. Here’s the cool thing about this book (before we get into heavy themes): the structure incorporates past and present. But, people have questions, and he can’t stay quiet forever. Instead, I think I’ll summarize, talk about structure, Prose, then categorize by theme.Įmilio Sandoz is a Jesuit priest – and the sole survivor of a mission to the first alien planet with life, discovered in 2019 by his best friend Jimmy (who works at SETI). I’m instead going analyze the aspects of the book to get a better look at wat makes this book so good. If I had to rate it, it would be a five star book, but I’m not going to do that here. Writing a simple “what I liked vs didn’t like” list felt like I was robbing this book of its integrity. I started this posted on August 17th, but I couldn’t quite figure out where to start. The first thing I need to say: This book contains content that may be shocking or offensive to some people.
