Title: Don't pass this one by!
Review: A paradise free from conflict, suffering, and death-that's what we all want, isn't it? Well, isn't it? This is a question central to O'Leary's thoughtful and accomplished new novel, which pulls off the seemingly impossible feat of merging an sf thriller with an insightful meditation on the meaning of suffering and the nature of love. The plot moves through some very strange imaginative territory, but O'Leary focuses on aspects of our humanity that are all too familiar: longing, jealousy, grief, joy. An exceptional novel.
