Title: A Very Lonesome Story
Review: I was facinated by this book, I could not put it down. It was gentle, it was shocking, it was deliberate. It made me uneasy, it made me think, it made me want to scream and cry. But most of all, it made me lonesome. This is the most lonesome story I ever read.I have always wanted to go into space. Just to visit a space station would be sufficient, but the idea of exploring new worlds and new civilizations is my wildest dream for my children. Now I read a book that points out the lonesomeness of being in space -- a long way from home, forgot and forgotten, lost in more ways than I can imagine. Jan/Janna has even lost her personal identity. That she lived and had any sense of social responsibility at all was interesting.I loved the ending. How else could the book end but with words of hope and promise? The last 3 pages were worth the wait. Lyrical, beautiful, sad, and lonesome. This book says there is a lot more to space exploration and space explorers than action and adventure.
