Description:
" The Book of Strange New Things is Michel Faber's second masterpiece, every bit as luminescent and memorable as The Crimson Petal and the White . It is a portrait of a living, breathing relationship, frayed by distance; it's an enquiry into the mountains faith can move and the mountains faith can't move. It is maniacally gripping and vibrant with wit. I didn't so much read The Book of Strange New Things as inhabit it." --David Mitchell "Michel Faber's The Book of Strange New Things certainly lives up to its title. Faber, as he showed in Under the Skin , does strangeness brilliantly. I can't remember being so continually and unfailingly surprised by any book for a long time, and part of the surprise is the tenderness and delicacy with which he shows an emotional relationship developing in one direction while withering in another. I found it completely compelling and believable, and admired it enormously." --Philip Pullman "Weird and disturbing, like any work of genius, this novel haunted me for the seven nights I spent reading it, and haunts me still. A story of faith that will mesmerize believers and non-believers alike, a story of love in the face of the Apocalypse, a story of humanity set in an alien world-- The Book of Strange New Things is desperately beautiful, sad, andunforgettable." --David Benioff
