Mary Doria Russell is the author of this science fiction best seller, The Sparrow: A Novel. Set in the future, the novel explores the concepts of being human and having faith.
With a science background Russell brings a technical sense to the writing without getting lost in big words and jargon. She provides enough science to be plausible and of interest to those is astronomy and space travel but not too much to slow down the adventure. It is a alien space travel adventure mystery. A team travel but only one returns.
Good summer read and does offer some interesting questions. Has been a popular book club selection. Different parts could strike a lively discussion.
