Title: Ultimately, a disappointment
Product review: The flyleaf of this book grabbed me and wouldn't let go: this story revolves around a document that irrefutably, absolsutely proves the existence of (a male, Christian) God. How could I resist? How could any of us?The novel begins with a bang but ends with a whimper. What I found most interesting was how the author sketched the characters' reactions to this proof after they've read the document. The president of France, for example, dissolves into a state of gentle radiance (that others judge as insanity) and leaves his post to tend to his beloved wife and roses. Most of the characters are male and represent Church and State...and, sure enough, they end up suppressing the evidence. Ultimately, then, there are no surprises in this book, and I was very disappointed that a female author chose to script *all* characters, save one man's sister (a minor voice), as male. "Churchianity" prevails yet again.
