]]> Comment on The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell by Elizabeth http://www.catholicfiction.net/2006/02/09/the-sparrow-by-mary-doria-russell/#comment-2683 Elizabeth Thu, 03 Jan 2008 23:20:00 +0000 http://www.catholicfiction.net/2006/02/09/the-sparrow-by-mary-doria-russell/#comment-2683 A very strong, and very accurate review. Thank you. I'm impressed that you've picked up on the Missing Christ in the novel because I do agree with your assessment that the Jesuit aspect of the Crisis of Faith seen in the main character is hollowed out by that distinct missing element of Faith. Emilio's travails were far more Christ-like than Cain....and I'm truly admiring of your succinct realization that the novel, then, is more post-Holocaust than Catholic in design and ultimate conclusion. I, also, am looking forward to reading the sequel. Russell is certainly a formidably deep-thinking writer and The Sparrow was truly invigiorating a read. A very strong, and very accurate review.
